So my dad needs a new pc because the other one just stopped working and it was 2 old to even bother fixing. He obviously doesnt need a GPU or tonnes of ram and storage. Also he doesnt have to spend 600 its just the max. I dont really know about low budget and non gaming pc's so i need some help deciding the parts. thx.

I just Googled USD to AUD so...

 

Their PC parts cost more though.

 

An A8-5600K is $109.99 in Australia, it's $20 less in America. It's not the exchange rate, it's the resellers.

You can buy a cheap copy of Windows 8.1 from here it is a reliable site with tons of deals, and there is instructions on how to do it.
