Hi I have been approached by my friends dad to build him a new pc all he needs it for is burning back ups of his blue ray movies. I need to some suggestions and input on what will make the process faster. He says his budget is 600$ he already has a case and the peripherals. He also has the blue ray burner already but it is about 2 years old and don't know how well it has aged. he will need an OS as well,

Are these blu ray backups ISOs or video files? Cause if they're ISOs then pretty much any PC will do it, get some second hand tower for cheap and stick the blu ray burner in it. If they're video files you'll need some decent power to encode them into blu-ray disc format.

Integrated graphics and an H81 board would be perfectly fine.

 

I know...

edit: the aftermarket cooler isn't needed either, and I'd drop it to a Celeron for just burning ISOs

I added it for it to be quiet, and I THINK (correct me if Im wrong) burning the ISOs still would use some CPU power...

Burning a disc won't be quiet in the first place as optical drives under load are loud af, and burning ISOs takes CPU power but barely any. A G1820 will be perfectly fine for the task.
