TUF budget PC

[imthewalrus]

So I am building a PC for an aunt's office, I have a windows license, and all the peripherals. However I am only spending 350 dollars at this moment, and maybe later I will add up some stuff to it. 

 

- Motherboard: Asus Vanguard

- CPU: Celeron g1820

- PSU: Corsair CX430 

- RAM: G. Skill NS (1x4gb) 

- CASE: Cougar Archon

- Storage (for now): Recertified Corsair 60 GB SSD 

 

Price (including shipping): $327.60

 

I have an extra 300 GB HDD for storage.

 

What do you guys think?

Cheaper motherboard... please.

Cheaper motherboard... please.

 

Im trying to have everything which as must reliability as possible. I know the SSD is refurbished, but she might be getting something more "safe" later. I dont mind having to pay 30 dollars more for an extra two years of warranty on a motherboard (the vanguard has a 5 year warranty).

My only thought would be to spend another $20 and get a Haswell Pentium versus the Celeron. Its going to a stronger architecture and perform better in the long run. IMO worth the extra $20

 

Think G3220
