I'm planning on putting together a PC for a family member, but I don't really know much about... well... lower end parts. What he's looking for is just something quiet that can basically take the place of an old dell laptop and do some web browsing and financial stuff on. This isn't a gaming PC whatsoever... in fact, all I want is integrated graphics as of right now.
---------------------------------------------------------------
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Don't know... sometime this year hopefully...
BUDGET RANGE: $600 and under before rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Web Surfing, Office Applications
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Need everything, starting from scratch
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg
PARTS PREFERENCES: Prefer AMD, doesn't matter that much, though
OVERCLOCKING: No SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: You tell me... I don't have a monitor for it yet...
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Try to keep it quiet and power-efficient for me...
---------------------------------------------------------------
I know this is probably a tough one on this budget to get a decent PC, considering it's $200 for a decent monitor. Maybe it's even better just to buy something from HP this time around, but I figure you guys can at least come up with something a little better...
Much Appreciated,
Matt
