Approximate Purchase Date: sometime this month, maybe next
Budget Range: $350 to $400,
System Usage from Most to Least Important: web browsing, simple stuff, literally the most graphically incuded thing is hd video on youtube
Are you buying a monitor: nope
Parts to Upgrade: the whole pc, i dont think anything is salvagable
Do you need to buy OS: no, i think i got that covered
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: none really, i use pcpartpicker like many people here
Location: charlotte, north carolina
Parts Preferences: im thinking intel cpu for the singlethreaded performance, but it depends on how well the graphics will do. otherwise i was thinking an amd a4 or a6
Overclocking: nope
SLI or Crossfire: nope
Your Monitor Resolution: i think its 1024 x 768, its one of the squarish ones that come with hp's and are like the ones at high schools
Additional Comments: its a small form factor build for my parents, preferabbly slim over mini itx cube. i would like to keep the case and change the psu, or if theres another slim case. it has a card reader which is an added plus but i doubt itd be used much. i just picked it cause it was cheap and would do the job for a pc that sits on a desk and browses the web. also i was thinking of an ssd, right now they use 80gbs, so i was thinking an 120gb ssd, cause they have a 1tb external one that they use.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: lets just leave you a link of what my parents are using right now

so anyway, i have a few options, i was wondering if the wonderful people here can take a look and see if they can bring the budget down, and just give me some feedback. a few questions is would a pentium be fine? and i3 is hyperthreaded but i dont think it would make much of a difference. also, will the integrated graphics on the pentium be enough for hd video?
