SAMSUNG LS24D590 Full HD 23.6" LED Monitor

£149.99
Led, 23.6inch, resolution of 1920 x 1080, x 2 hdmi ports and x1 vga port.
I think this monitor is a good monitor for the requirements as it’s not too expensive, provides a large screen with an amazing resolution of 1920 x 1080, it also comes with x2 hdmi ports so the user can connect other external devices such as a games console or a camera.
An alternative could be ACER S240HLBID Full HD 24" LED Monitor. This is a cheaper alternative at £99 almost delivering the same specs. This is a good alternative because it’s cheaper with a bigger screen which is good for the user because this will save the user money and the bigger screen will mean that they could find it easy to use adobe and other programmes.

Mouse
MICROSOFT Arc Touch Wireless Blue Track Mouse

£39.99
This mouse’s connectivity 0 is a Wireless 2.4GHz with a wireless range of 30ft. The mouse has a touch scroll , folds flat and comes with a stylish black finish

I choose this mouse because of its good price for what you get, it’s an amazing wireless mouse with a range of 30ft and because of its stylish finish. This mouse is good for the user because it’s wireless so the user can use this mouse without annoying wires connected to his/hers pc. Also with a 30ft range the user can control his/hers pc from a long distance away.
An alternative mouse could be a cheaper mouse for example LOGITECH M185 Wireless Optical Mouse in Black & Red. This mouse has a one year battery life. This also has a sleep mode and on/off switch to conserve power. This is good for the user because when the user is not using the mouse they can switch the mouse to off so they can conserve power and save on electricity.
Another reason why this mouse is a good alternative is because this mouse is rechargeable s0 when you have used it for a year all you do is simply recharge it so you can continue using it. This is a good alternative for the user because having this mouse will make things more efficient as there will be no wires as its wireless and it will last year then it will just need recharging.

I choose this keyboard because it’s a good and cheap priced keyboard which is compatible with windows operating system. I also have chosen this because its wireless which means it will make the use of the keyboard easier for the user as there will be no wires attached from the keyboard to the computer.
An alternative keyboard could be a more expensive keyboard for example a LOGITECH Illuminated Living-Room K830 Wireless Keyboard. This keyboard comes with a touchpad so there’s no need for a mouse. It is also wireless and it prices at £84.

Operating system
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

£69.99
With windows 7 you can simplify your computer system with all new navigational features such as jump lists, aero shake and snap plus all new features from the media centre

I choose this operating system because it is the required operating system by the user. It’s also easy to use and easy to get used to. Also for the price of £69.99 you get more than what you pay for as windows 7 is much simpler whereas windows xp was a more complex operating system. Windows 7 is also a good operating for the user because he/she wants software utilities installed on the computer system so windows 7 has the capability to download 1000s of different utilities whereas mac operating system for example doesn’t give the user much of a variety of software utilities.
A very good alternative operating system for the user could be windows 8 because with windows 8 the interface is much more stylish and attractive also with windows 8 you get a new type of programme called Windows Defender and Windows Smart Screen which can help protect your computer system against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. This is good for the user because they don’t have to install other programmes to protect their pc from viruses etc as with windows 8 these programmes are pre-installed .Another new programme included in windows 8 is family safety which gives your kids some independence while still keeping tabs on them. Priced at £79.99 so is definitely worth an extra £10
Office 2010
Microsoft Office Professional 2010 - PC
£94.95
Office 2010 syndicates everything you require produce, edit and share documents from anywhere.
I choose this because it is the requirement from the user and because with office 2010 you get all the Microsoft office programmes such as work, PowerPoint, excel, publisher, outlook, access, one note, viso, Lync and many more. All of these are useful for the user’s requirements as the user will need most of these programmes. Another reason why this is a good programme for the user is because it’s very cheap for what you get and is well worth the money as the user will be using these programmes most of the time.
An alternative to office 2010 is office 365. This is a good alternative because you get the same programmes as office 2010 and you also get the option to get office 365 on up to 5 devices. This is good because the user can use these programmes from their mobile phone or tablet. With office 365 you also get 1TB of free online storage with OneDrive so the user can store files on their one drive and access these files from other devices by signing in. By buying office 365 you also get free unlimited support if you encounter any problems or if you have any queries the Microsoft office team will always be there to help you.
