Hello my parents want a new computer. They like to check their mail and surf the internet. They also like to play games on Pogo.com and stuff like that. They are willing to pay $500 for their computer.
Currently they have something like:
P4 1.2
DDR400 32MB ram...yes i said 32MB...
20 or 40GB HDD
15"CRT
They have a keyboard and mouse so thats np they do how ever want a 19" and I showed them some monitors and they want a Widescreen. Heres what I have come up with..Please help my tweak and construct this build so they can get the most out of their $500. They dont plan on overclocking or anything.
Case(with 350w PSU) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811147019 - Dad wants a black case so...this was cheap.
Motherboard(Onboard video and sound) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131049 - has onboard video and sound it should power the monitor i would think.
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103531 -
Memory(512MB) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145479 - 512MB should be enough right?
WD 250GB HDD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822144701 - 250GB is WAY too much but they price doesnt change too much from 40GB to 250GB.
CD/DVD Rom - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16827106028 - they dont burn so this should be fine
19" Widescreen - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16824254005 - They Reall loved this monitor and my cousin has it so seems good.
Total $512.20
