New Desktop for Nan

Go to solution Solved by ShadowCaptain,

you can probably save 20-30 by buying them all from one place, say like scan for example

 

since you will pay like £8-£10 from each place for shipping up to a certain weight so there is that

 

the g3220 is a really good processor should be plenty cheap

 

what about an integrated processor and mobo? only costs £54 in total

 

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-ga-e350n-win8-amd-a45-s-integrated-amd-e-350-dual-core-cpu-ddr3-sata-ii-3gb-s-pci-d-sub-(vg

 

and a cheap case with built in PSU, these are normally poo but CiT is ok, I cant imagine she will be hammering it

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/cit-black-mid-tower-case-with-450w-psu-and-1x80mm-side-cooling-fan

 

 

these combined would save about £50

Ok so the limit is £200 but MUCH cheaper would be much more preferable

 

This is a build I though of for a sec.

 

Optical drive necessary Cheap as possible for Web surfing what can you guys get for me :D ?!

 

EDIT: no monitor needed also no windows.
