    As long as you know one end of a screwdriver from the other and can follow instructions you should be good with sorting that lot out.

    Master have you done an online search to compare prices. Doesn't sound bad but I don't know pricing in your country

    I have now and it comes to £670! So I am confused as this does not even include the labour.

    Take into account they wont pay the prices you can see on a Google search. They'll be making a quid alright

    For you to buy those components you're looking at 400-450 so it's not a bad deal.

    I may go for a slower processor i5 or i3 and get monitor, wifi enabled and Bluetooth for the price.

    I did clean the computer Sunday and there was a lot of dust and spiders in the computer.

    That is a good deal, top spec and will last for another 10 years, works out as £85 per year. Very good value. 😎

    windows 10 does not have a dvd maker or movie editor pre built into the software which is very annoying.

    What do people recommend that I download that is free and good without any ads/spam/virus?
