Approximate Purchase Date: This week
Budget Range: $250 after rebate
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Surfing the internet/possibility for light gaming (flash games?/other low quality), youtube, facebook, etc.
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor, possibly an old 350watt PSU from a dell Q6600 desktop http://www.txcesssurplus.com/servlet/the-6050/Dell-Vostro-420-Power/Detail
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg/tigerdirect/etc.
Country of Origin: United States
Parts Preferences: Best bang for the buck
Overclocking:Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Additional Comments: This is for my girlfriend's little brothers who are 15 and 13 years old. I had given them an old PC of mine, but it's finally starting to give out and was never that good to begin with. They had mentioned something about light gaming as a possibility when I had first given them my old PC... but that would kind of be a just a nice bonus if possible for this low of a budget. I'm surprising them with this PC and realize that I wont get anything too fancy for $250... but hey, they're just kids and mostly will need it for basic internet browsing (facebook, youtube, etc.).
Thanks for any suggestions!
