Hi guys, my father is looking to get a new computer because right now he's using my brother's old computer which is pretty old (7-8 years iirc). He showed me a couple of store flyers but nothing was really interesting and I told him that building his own (with my help on the actual assembly) would be much cheaper.
He doesn't really do much on his computer other than websurfing and watching movies, but I don't really know what parts would be cheap and still reliable (He probably won't upgrade his computer for a while)
We live in Montreal so I would prefer stores located in Canada
Approximate Purchase Date: around Wednesday the 19th of March
Budget Range: 500-600 including the OS but maybe not the monitor
System Usage from Most to Least Important: He usually just websurf and stream movies.
Are you buying a monitor: He has one right now, but he could really use a new one
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, he wants windows 7
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.ca
Location: He lives near Montreal in Canada
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: not sure what resolution he's currently using
Additional Comments: He wants a really quiet PC
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: He's having a hard time just loading web pages and opening files on his PC and his PC is pretty noisy.
