Build

So long story short I'm putting the parts together for a PC. The PC will be used for Office Suite stuff and I'm not sure if it will be used for anything else. I don't think he wants to go AMD, even though I would suggest an APU for this use. He will likely want to go with this build for 6 years or so, so I tried to make it lasting and reliable parts. I'd like to see what you guys think. I plan on only having one drive in there, just because I'm not sure if he knows how to choose what drive to put something on.

Also that mobo looks a bit long, I think it would fit with the PSU, but it looks close. Any thoughts?

I haven't try it yet because i don't want to upgrade but it's okay to buy from g2a.

I get all mine for free, but do they send the disk? I'm guessing it's just the key? If it is and they make you burn the disk you might as well go the full way and get it for free "somewhere".

I like the ssd build. Of course I have some suggestions, :) .

 

An mITX motherboard, small case, faster memory, and a less expensive ssd.
