I'm trying to build a computer for my father in law, he's got a dinosaur with Windows XP and its dying out on him. Unfortunately he can't afford to buy anything. I gave him my old HP with a core 2 duo, but its just as bad and overheats. So I want to build him a computer that he can play his face book games and watch HD movies on and store pictures and videos of his grand kids.

I do also have a HD5870, but am not sure if its just too old.
Sans peripherals I need to see if I can shave anything off without sacrificing performance. Willing to go Intel or AMD. But want to build something that will last him a couple years and run windows 8.1.
