Hello all,
I've been out of the game as far as new builds go for quite a while. So, I figured would see what everyone had for suggestions here. My friend needs a new desktop machine for office-type work. No graphics card needed. I'm thinking probably 4GB of RAM and possibly a quad core to future proof it (they keep their stuff for a long time. Right now he's using an old Win2000 machine that was upgraded to XP...it's horrible). I'm thinking we need to stick around the $400-$450 mark or cheaper.
I don't think he needs a monitor, but if so, don't include it in the price. I'll have to ask him about that. Same goes for keyboard/mouse.
So, let's see. I'm thinking quad, ddr3, a MB that isn't too fancy--only needs one PCI x16 for later use if necessary. That's about it. I can worry about the PSU and case (I'll probably ask my friend about a few and see what he likes).
Thanks guys.
