PC Build for parent. Advice, Suggestions Fresh Set of eyes

DeSyncD · Jan 29, 2016

Hey guys building a pc for my mum so it isn't going to be used for gaming or anything demanding but want her to have a system that has some upgrade options ram, video card and memory wise. I know the CPU doesn't really have an upgrade path considering the mobo. At least I think I am right in saying that.

Just wanted a fresh set of ideas and if needed suggestions or warning of anything that might not fit etc.

Uhm, may i ask what excatly she will be using this for? I mean the things you have put in is pretty decent. But why all the cooling fans? And a 650W Psu?
If it's for Facebook, Email, videos ect.. I think you could save some bucks here and there.
But one thing i would recommend (If it's because the pc needs to start fast and stuff) I would recommend a SSD.

1. Don't need the extra 3 fans.
2. PSU is overpowered.
3. What are you doing for an OS for this?

In my experience, Chromebooks are a pretty sweet deal for the average parent who use mainly web browsing, solitaire, email etc.

Backend virus protection and virtual idiot-proof OS.

I know it is complete overkill tbh that is kinda the point of it. The SSD is a great idea and have decided to add one for OS. Just wanted to make sure there wasnt any glaring compatibility issues not picked up by part picker.
