Hi all,

I'm looking to build a budget PC for my Mom. She mainly browses the internet and streams HD video.

I'm primarily looking for a solid dual core (or perhaps quad core) CPU if possible. No serious graphics card is needed.

She pretty much leaves the computer on 24/7 so components that use little power and are quiet are preferable.

Many thanks for all the help!

Thanks for the advice. Is there already a built computer that would fit her needs? She is running on an old AMD Athlon 64 3800+ right now.

The computer can be new or refurbished. Either is fine. Something that could consistently stream HD video without problems is key as I'm trying to shift her from cable TV to streaming.
