Planning build for others

How will this fare in just web browsing?

 

Asrock h97m-PRO4 + g3258 = 231$

Ram 4gbx2 = 102$

840 evo 120gb = 119$

CM elitle 344 Case = 44$

CM Thunder 500W = 58$

Total=554$

 

If there is anything i can change to lower the cost please do so! (without losing too much performance that is!)

All prices are calculated in SGD

No need for GPU and hard drive (the person doesnt play games and SSD is a requirement)

H81 motherboard, cheap 400/430 watt PSU from EVGA/Corsair, 4GB ram (if only for web browsing), MX100/SP900 if they're cheaper (the latter is faster in consistent writes, similar in consistent reads and random reads), and a Source 210. That's what I'd change at least.

a h81 mobo requires a bios update and i cant really do that... dont have a pre-haswell refresh CPU 

EDIT: And i saw in my MSI AB that just web browsing alone uses up to 4.5gb of ram

All prices are calculated in SGD

I'm buying from my country itself! Prices here a lil hectic (sometimes costing 2x as much compared to the US)

 

I dont need a GPU as all the person is doing is web browsing!

Hmmm is trading the SSD out for a stronger CPU worth it?

Why do you need a SSD for browsing ;/

 

That cpu has integrated graphics , thats why i picked it

You dont need a gpu.

Faster boot times. The g3258 has intergrated graphics too
