Hi folks, hope this is not too boring of a question
I have a sweet I7 self build running Win 7 pro but my wife hates it, she won't give up her 11 year old Dell 32bit XP Pro. The mobo is probably going to die of old age pretty soon. It's even running an SSD as boot disk.
I want to build her a PC for WEB, light gaming, OExpress and word/excel use (using the original XP pro install disk) without spending a lot or buying any SFWR.
My initial thoughts are an 1155 socket
$100. ASUS P8H67-M PRO/CSM LGA 1155 Corporate Stable Model Intel H67 DDR3 1333 Micro ATX Motherboard
$95. Intel Core i3-2120 Processor 3.3 GHz 3MB Cache
$55. Evga GeForce GT 430 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 DVI/HDMI/VGA Graphics Card, 01G-P3-1430-LR
$35 Corsair
Already have PSU, HDD's, Case even a spare Intel SSD.
Any advice on this idea ?
Would greatly appreciate any time you could waste on this
