looking to build a desktop pc for about £300 for the mother-in-law
i've not been in the loop since i built the rig in my sig last year. and don't usually build budget jobbies.
there's always a sweet performance/price point that i'm sure the enthusiasts on here can help me find.
no real graphics required, just a cheap card. so excluding a gig or two of ram and hdd, dvd/cd-rw and case - i can possibly canabalise some of that from some of my old hardware. and a monitor i've already bought.
anyhoo, that leaves £150-200 for the motherboard and processor. the cheaper the better, obviously.
the pc will only be used for word, email, a bit of photo editing, watching films, browsing and a few games for her grandchild.
help me help a pensioner, tia.
