Help, daddy's realised about technology

[bertie1312]

Papa bear has decided that he wants to get rid of sky and just use the internet for everything - could anyone help in regards to building a new pc, with a good spec that will stream internet tv and live sports

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks very much in advance

Bert

Also he's informed me that he has a maximum of £300 to spare and i'm afraid i'm in no position to even help top this amount at this moment in time, thanks for any help

I already have any software needed for a new build, would you know what i'd be better spending the spare money on. For instance would putting a graphics card help it stream a lot smoother or would i be better off upgrading a different part of the installation you've suggested - thanks for the help as well, i'm still learning but it's coming to me slowly !

I suggest getting a non-apu and instead having a 78xx series card, for around 120-160

nope... since he is not into gaming purposes, no point spending so much money onto this build...the integrated graphics is more than enough for his needs...
