I am looking into building a PC for my in-laws. They basically only use it to surf the internet and send emails, both through AOL (yeah, I know). I ordered their last PC through Dell since it was such a good deal, but I think I can build a faster machine for the same price this time around.
My main concern is speed. They don't use up a lot of hard drive space, so if it's possible to get by with just a SSD that may be beneficial. They don't need a monitor or any peripherals, just the tower.
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: $450-$550
System Usage from Most to Least Important: AOL, surfing the internet, email, light word processing, printing stuff
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Windows 7 Home 64-bit)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com or tigerdirect.com
Location: California
Thanks in advance!
