Hi there, I'm from Indonesia and my school (just a small school) need about 6 computers for laboratory.
We need these computers just for dialy usage, and little bit graphic design (using Corel) and video/audio editing.
Our budget is only about $230/rig. I don't have any preference, but I think because it's just dialy usage, maybe AMD would do.

Could you suggest me a rig that have price range like I mentioned before?

Thank you

yes, it's in US$ they need individual hard drive


no,, its exclude from that

Why did you pick an AMD A4-5300 3.4GHz? what about Athlon II X4 640?
I was thinking about my plan like this:
proc: $80
mobo: $50
RAM: $20
HDD: $50
PSU: $15
Casing: $15

is that possible?

The reason why I recommend an A4 is because it is an APU, combining CPU and GPU, which lets you save money, provides low power consumption without compromising graphics capability when using software such as Corel Draw. I am using an A4-5300 right now and it is faster than the computers at my school. The case and PSU are around as cheap as you can get without getting dodgy. The motherboard is adequate for school use too. If you want to spend a little more I would change the Kingston 2GB 1333MHz RAM to Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600MHz RAM.
