Hello everyone... I am building 3 identical computers for my nephews and just wanted a little feedback on what i am building...
1st off my brother-in-law asked if I could build them something that they could learn on they are 13,11 and9....
so a basic build is in order... There usage will be for basic stuff like homework, internet browsing ( watching videos online) no hardcore gaming stuff... Just basic "get to know how to" things....
Budget under $500 for the computer
another 120 for the monitor, keyboard and mouse (any ideas for these would be appriciated)
