My dad wants a pc

[Lowspecgamer]

My dad wants to build a pc for office use. He usually has lots of tabs open and he saves files and loads files frequently what’s the best processor on a budget to get for an office pc like this?

what? $1700 is a budget

 

really though, tabs aren't very demanding. Ryzen 3 2200g and loads of ram will help.

A low budget of around $300

$300 for just the CPU, or whole system? If it's the whole system then consider something like a Pentium G4600, or Athlon 200GE.

Yeah it’s for the whole system are there any cons to either of these cpus ?

There's not a huge difference in them, aside from maybe the fact that you can upgrade the Athlon to some Ryzen CPU that would have better performance with both CPU and graphics performance, but since that's probably not important whatsoever then you can just get the config that's cheaper, Athlon with A320 board (the only CPU I recommend using A320 with, and even then it's a stretch) or Pentium with H310.

Alright thank you for the help I really appreciate it

If you're going that low, I would honestly recommend buying a prebuilt or refurb PC from your nearest electronics retailer, it's just not worth the hassle. And at that low of a price point you'll probably get better specs with an OEM machine (unless your dad won't question the "purchase windows" mark in the bottom corner and not being able to change backgrounds)

cpu https://amzn.to/2G0fIIR

mobo https://amzn.to/2G2Rdeh

ram https://amzn.to/2G0OBxl

power supply https://amzn.to/2G1aywr

cooler https://amzn.to/2FYbOjG or hyper 212 https://amzn.to/2G52b2O

get the smaller one if you choose a smaller case!

 

240 gb ssd: https://amzn.to/2G1TiXK

1tb hard drive 7200rpm https://amzn.to/2G2428u (optional if he stores a lot of files locally and you can get the slower 5200 rpm if u want)

 

 

total with ssd: $369.94 USD

with hard drive and ssd: 

$417.73 usd

(on the hdd there is also a deal for a wd ssd with hard drive if u want: https://amzn.to/2G2RZId but i didnt reccomend it because idk if wd ssds are good)

sorry i took a while lol. if he uses more than 2 monitors a gt 710 or gt 1030 wouldnt be a bad investment, even the low profile gt 1030 from gigabyte or zotac: 

https://amzn.to/2G0Q4nl

hope i wasnrt too late, lol. I hope you at least like it because i actuall hand picked specifics. let me know if i should change anything. also these are all amazon links. for usa. if u live in other country let me know i can use a vpn. im really bored so im here to help

 

Edit: without the ssd fits your budget. you can get a cheaper mobo or something for more money left for a case.

 

ANOTHER EDIT: You can buy windows on ebay for cheap. or if he has an old pc you can de activate and use the code there. or if u r lucky move the drive it might reactivate.
