Office-work PC HELP!

giovannotto · January 16, 2015

I need to buy a Pc for my wife, to use at her workplace.

She doesen't need much power so we sort of looking for the best bargain we can find.

The work she's gonna do is office(word, excell etc) printing, web searching-surfing, dvd burning, you know simple stuffm no photoshop and other heavy programs.

I think that 4GB of ram is enouph for that.

For the cpu now the choices that i found are AMD's Athlon 5350 and Intels Pentium G3258. Their price is more-or-less the same and is at the target for my wallet for this Pc.

But since they are very low profile cpu's i can't find so much about reviews etc. Will these CPUs perform well without "hang time" when multitasking? And if so, which 1?

If anyone feels that he/she has some knowledge about office pcs i would appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance for your help

PS.: if u can reccomend about a mobo i would be gratefull.Since i don;t want features even an H81 seems good enough

I think the g3258 will be good

The G3258 is far better.

G3258 all the way. Don't even bother with that Athlon. Or, go for an APU, as OpenCL will accelerate those apps.
