Looking for feedback on $335~ Build

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hey! Thanks for taking a look. So I'm building a computer for a co-worker, that will mainly be used for browsing the web, media, lots of videos and just all around simple stuff.

I think $335 might be a bit overkill but this is what I came up with. I'm open to any ideas, and AMD motherboards/processors.

Please let me know what you think! Even if it's just to give me some confidence... I need to purchase it tonight. Thank you!

I have an extra windows 7 I'll put on it :) 

Could definitely build it for cheaper, but I wanted to use quality parts! I'm going to sell my co-worker a monitor for 50 dollars as well.

the only thing I'd suggest if a very low-end GPU -- 6450 or 5450, if they plan to watch videos. the HD graphic in the 620 is pretty weak.

630 is the same price

Thanks for your help Screwy =)

Good find on the G630!

Unfortunately, the RAM is sold out everywhere. I'll be using an optical drive I have laying around, and I think what I'll probably do is buy a video card if the onboard isn't performing enough.

basically, the HD3000 in the i3-2105, i5-2500K, i7-2600Ki/2700K roughly matches an HD 5450, with 12 proccessing units. the HD 2000 in other i3/i5/i7 has only 6, and the HD graphics in the Celeron/Pentium class has only 4 units.

the latter will struggle with HD video, thus the suggestion of 5450/6450
