New budget Computer

[wildgene789]

Hey guys just wondering does all this go together? because my grandma wants me to build her a computer because right now she has a dell with only 256 gb ram and 2.3ghz processor

Alright please let me know what you think. Will this dominate for just going online and paying bills AND getting recipes thats all she wants to do she just wants to go fast.

That will be just fine for her.

 

[wildgene789]

you sure man? i wanna be sure haha im thinking about Ubuntu so its just even faster

 

[fullmetall]

Well if the build is just for those things, could probably just buy an already built pc instead of dealing with building it. Would be more simple. I bought a mini case computer that had a Q6600 in it and came with a Dell 24" monitor for my gma and all she does is play pogo and my gpa does guitar music programs on it.

i will get the name of it for you if you'd like. but, you can get the monitor seperate, its just a combo deal.

 

[wildgene789]

well half this *** im putting in this computer im taking for myself lmao like what im doing is giving her my slower parts like ram and harddrive and taking faster stuff cause i have a 600 watt psu in my computer but need something powerful for my PhenomII and gtx285 soo ill give her 600 and get the 750ps and she has a moniter and *** now and idk mini comps arent my thing lol
