Trying to help my Uncle and Aunt get a good, sturdy normal computer to replace the "All in One!" HP garbage they got before that gave out on them.
I'm leaving the country soon, so the sooner I can help 'em, the better. I'll also be looking at little deals online to see if they actually come out ahead without building everything, though I think that's unlikely.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
***PC, Web browsing, watching videos.. Really common, low intensity stuff.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
***About 600$. Maybe a little more if need be.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
***USA, Louisiana.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
***Case, Motherboard, CPU, RAM, PSU, GPU, HDD (doesn't have to be SSD...), Optical Drive, Operating System, and Monitor. We can just find the keyboard, mouse, and speakers too easily.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
***None.
6) Will you be overclocking?
***No.
7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
***Need a new monitor, hopefully 19". Nothing incredible, but nothing terrible.. <
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
***A.S.A.P.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
***No specific features necessary.. USB 3.0 is nice, but considering the budget, not necessary..
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
***No... I need an OS, like Windows 7. <:/
Thank you very much for your time, guys.. I know finding anything worth it's weight with this budget can be difficult, considering the monitor and OS are needed as well.. If it's impossible to find decent parts for this cheap, just go over the cost and I'll give my relatives the diagnosis. Still may end up being better/cheaper than anything they can buy in stores.. Thanks again, you altruistic souls.
