Hey guys,

I just finished a nice gaming rig and it works amazingly well. So well my parents want one thats "just as fast." I'm trying to get some ideas on a very fast computer that is used only for streaming the internet and videos. Here are the things they need.

Processor, Ram, 500GB HDD, Motherboard, Power Supply and Case.

For just these components I want to spend around $400, and $500 being the max. Thanks guys.

Here's a cool "parent's PC" that will last for a long, long time if all they do is basic stuff like Word, basic Internet surfing and watching videos/movies etc. I also saved you some money on your budget, and that case basically doesn't take any space at all, which parents usually like.
