Cute pc case and build for mom

[Yagyu]

Hi guys, so my mom pc is dying and she need a new one, i was about to take a hp pavilion wave but i stoped because i knew building your own pc is better.

 

She really liked the hp pavilion wave design, so a little case just like the wave could be great, a small pc case like corsair 380T or corsair one case .

 

Now i need you guys for some specs, we need something between 500-1500$ Canada money, something not bad at gaming so my little brother can play his games ( like planet coaster and rust )

 

It would be nice if you make 3 build , one at 500 , another at 1k and the last at 1500. Please include a copy of windows 10 home and a monitor in the build.

 

thank you for reading i know my english is not perfect

No. It is not. I made this in Pcpartpicker using the Canadian merchants. Vuugo, Amazon Canada. Please read it properly.

My bad

[Guest lilbman]

To be honest, your mom probably doesn't need anything more than like a core i5 7500 for general web browsing.

That's alright

[Herorush]

It seems a 1400 is suitable. And you need to pay more attention to find a case

[Yagyu]

thank you all for the replies

This one uses the Corsair 250D, which is the only other Corsair Mini ITX case I could find. Personally, I think the 380T looks nicer, but it's up to you and your mum.

i5? Is that a joke? She doesn't need any more than a dual thread Pentium for web browsing.

 

OP-

Don't waste time and money on a custom system for your mum and some light gaming done by your little brother. It's pointless. By any cheap pre-built that has a relatively decent CPU, and add an SSD and 1050Ti to it, you're good to go.

Eh. If he likes the idea of building, I think that's great. It could be the start of a hobby, and there's nothing wrong with that.

would the ncase m1 work with the stuff you gave me ?

I'm checking right now, I'll get back to you in a minute. It's a nice looking case too.

So, from what it looks like the M1 is quite expensive. If you want to stay inside your $1500 CAD limit, you might have to make compromises on cards. Perhaps a downgrade to a 1050 Ti?

no its okay for the price , but does it work

no downgrade we will just pay more

Alright! I'm also not sure that the M1 has case fans included, so I chucked in 3 to be safe. If you aren't too worried about aesthetics, the fan colour shouldn't be an issue bit if it is let me know and I can find some different ones. The reason I picked out the brown noctua fans is because they're some of the best on the market and very reliable. In terms of the price of the case, I wasn't sure how much it will cost you so I just converted the American price. This is likely different to what you're going to pay for it, so you'll have to figure that out yourself.
