Hey guys, I'm not very up to date for budget parts so I was wondering if you could help me out.
My grandparents are in need of a new computer, their current one is an old dinosaur, an HP, Pentium 3 or 4 @ 1.6GHz, 1GB of ram that I upgraded, 90GB IDE HDD running Win XP. Anyway its old and I can tell its starting to bother them. What I'd like to to is put together a average desktop build together that can fit a price they would be willing to pay for an upgrade.
They don't do anything more then read email, look at pictures, it be nice if it could at least handle 720p video on Youtube or videos on the OS, so I'd rather only have them use an SSD as they don't need anything huge, and show them the speed difference from their old computer proving the new computer was worth the money.
Case -
PSU -
Motherboard -
CPU -
RAM -
GPU - Not really sure if needed, they aren't going to be playing any games
SSD - Newegg.com - Corsair Force CSSD-F80GB2-BRKT-A 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
OS - 64 or 32 version of Windows 7 Home Premium unless I can get by with their old Windows XP....
I don't need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor.
If anyone else could offer their input that would be great.
