Install linux and use it as a web-browsing PC.
That's all you can do with it.

Your CPU is potato.

Doesn't matter as long as it's consistent

this font and size hurt my eyes

slick should do a review of linus

To my good friends, I am God of computing.
My friend's mom actually paid me 50 bucks to fix their loose cable, thrice.
Many don't believe me when I told them I built a PC.
I should never have mentioned the term 'hardware porn' among them.
Some think I have no life and no future.
To most adults, I am a spoilt brat.

Customer walks into the IT shop I worked at. She looks around (Computers and gadgets everywhere) . She walks to the counter and asks me if we sell clothes.

You can though http://www.downloadmoreram.com/

Here's a good one: if the cursor is an arrow, double click If the cursor is a hand, single click
Maybe try and teach her that :p

So, here's my experiences, that I can come to think of now:
 
- After I've fixed a computer for a friend or relative, they always blame me for every future problem.
- Two guys were talking in an MMORPG I used to play, and one of them said that he overclocked his hard drive and his computer is now more than twice as fast.
- Whenever I tell someone that I like computers and technology, they always assume I just post stuff on Facebook and play Farmville all day long.
- My mom freak out every time an email from someone she doesn't know, slips through the spam filter and end up in her inbox. Something worth mentioning is that she use hotmail, so she freaks out a lot.
 
Edit: fixed the formatting.

I used to work at a computer shop for IT support and service. Whenever something is wrong with the machine, they'll always ask if it's a virus or not. If the shortcut on the desktop is gone, they would think all of their data on the computer are gone.
My mum isn't non-techy but she just double clicks on EVERYTHING she wants to open. That includes links and buttons on the web browser. She would double click on the Google searches to open them too and I got really annoyed watching her using the computer at some point of my life.
I have another one but it's not really non-techies. My friend is a photographer but not much of a computer guy so he bought a netbook(yes, those 10-inches) and brought it to college. Apparently he actually used that netbook to edit photo and do his work. I remember him posting a comment which he thinks tiny computer are less powerful(true to some extent).

People thinking they can download RAM....

my aunt who is constantly complaining about her slow Pentium 4 computer, and when people tell her to buy a new one already, she says "no its fine."

Fucking cow mate :') it works.
 
I love you both @YouSirAreADudeSir @LionSpeck
 
Have cookies, you deserve it.
 
all i did was remove and re-install the GPU.
 
I'll stress-test this thing and see how does it go.

HEYYYY
 
I removed the GPU and the troubleshoot LED is now on VGA like it should be.
 
Lemme try to put it in again.
 
Thanks.

Negative for both.
 
I'll edit my post for the components.

Ouch. My "Netflix box" on my TV is an Atom 330 (dual core, 64-bit 1.6GHz overclocked to the max (ie: Motherboard doesn't allow me to deliver more voltage to the CPU) at 2.2Ghz - 4GB of RAM DDR2, GeForce 9400M, and I can tell you, it was a pain to get Windows 10 running somewhat smoothly. You have to be patient with Netflix app loading its content. Once loaded, the GPU handles everything, and so it is super butter smooth, until you load something.  Your CPU is better than mine by a nice margin, but I suspect you'll still need to do like me, and disable just about everything from Windows 10,  including security, beside networking, and the needed components to allow every program to run

Mechanical keyboards are nice for typing, but it doesn't really affect gaming. I'd go with the Xbox controller.

@Adarsh Singh I'd say you should get the controller because a mechanical keyboard doesn't really make much difference.
If you play Racing games then get the controller.
I personally have a cheap keyboard and a controller but i am planning on getting a mechanical keyboard just because i love the way they sound.
 
Ps.: There is an Xbox One controller for Pc as well. I don't know if it's any better than the 360 just thought i mention it.

keyboard i guess? depends really because FPS games on a controller is shit but driving on a keyboard is also shit

I am not able to come up with a final answer to this question because it depends on multiple factors such as the games that you are planning to play with these accessories. Different games may be played better overall with a keyboard while some may play better with an Xbox controller.

Depends on what you'll do with it, keyboard for anything other than Racing or story games, controller for those.
