Default New build thoughts.

A friend has asked me to suggest a system build for him. As always budget is a consideration. I am thinking of Asus P5K with E4400 and a lower end graphics card for now. Doing this to allow for upgrading to better CPU and Graphics card when family demands more of his computer. We will fit a decent HDD and DVD RW at the start. Does this make any sense or do you think, build it now and be done with it?

Nah, I'm with you Mcbee.

You've taken the correct step in quoting a new revision mobo so allowing for an easier upgrade path.

No point building a spec they don't need yet as 1) It'll not see the use to justify the cost and 2) Come upgrade time the components they require may well have fallen in cost.

Just build to spec/usage and budget requirements.

I think it makes sense as we can probably use the CPU and GPU to start another build.
