Budget build advice

[AdamBenHamo]

Hi

 

I've been looking around for components for a PC for home/work that needs to be around $500. I already have a screen and software and all other bits, so just need the tower. The system will hopefully be connected to both a monitor and a TV, so was hoping for onboard graphics to which I can connect two HD displays,

 

Any help or advice would be very welcome

 

thanks

What would you be looking to do with your budget build? General browsing, gaming, editing? For that price range you can get a graphics card that can support dual video out, most onboard videos wont provide that.

I was thinking something like that can someone comment on my build about iGPU ? Thanks

Maybe you can get APU from amd, it has strong integrated gpu

Thanks manny, that's a great base for me to build on! Computer is for SEO and entertainment, so a few programmes and apps, nothing too heavy. Thinking of going with and HDD instead, need the capacity. Any ideas about a cheap GPU I can get?

It is possible, (and desireable), to have an ssd in this sort of build. Nothing makes a lower end cpu provide a great experience like an ssd.
