Hoping someone may be kind enough to lend assistance/opinions with a quick build.
Looking at a basic, no-frills PC. No gaming. Occasional video streaming up to 1080p, 720p is fine.
Budget: $200 - $250 final (don't mind rebates)
Goals: Power efficiency, price, w/o sacrificing too much performance
Use: [Running simultaneously]
Have:
PSU: CORSAIR CS450M 450W 80+ Gold $30 after rebate
CASE: Rosewill FBM-01 Micro ATX $27
SSD: 120GB SanDisk SSD PLUS $40
Total price for all (after rebates/coupons): $87
Looking at/Need:
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-H81M-HD2 LGA 1150 $32 after rebate
CPU: Intel Pentium Haswell @ 3.0GHz or more (G3220, G3258, etc.) - G3258 was $40 at Fry's recently, holding for similar sale. Willing to go as much as $60 perhaps
RAM: Good 1333MHz - 1600MHz Cas 7 or 8 Dual Channel 8GB (2x4GB) Kit w/ heatsinks $35 - $40 range
Connected via LAN (no WiFi adapter needed)
Storage requirements: .jpg/.png, .pdf, .docx, etc.
No optical drive needed
Aftermarket CPU fan/cooling not necessary
USB 3.0 not necessary.
Windows 10 ready a plus.
Hoping the Intel HD Graphics will be sufficient enough to drive those two monitors well enough for what I'm doing. Mouse, keyboard, cables, OS, etc. already covered.
Thanks in advance!
