Hi guys


 


The older couple who live on my street are looking to upgrade from their 2006 Celeron laptop( Which i tried to fix but to no avail ) and are looking to employ me to a build a super budget PC for them.


This is something I came up with. Mind you they are not power users and use their PC for just general work eg e-mail, outlook, word etc. I'm also trying to keep things local, Mwave being my closest retailer at a reasonable price.

I would recommend ditching the SSD and just get a HDD since their older and probably dont care about boot times

 eGPU Setup: Macbook Pro 13" 16GB DDR3 RAM, 512GB SSD, i5 3210M, GTX 980 eGPU

New PC: i7-4790k, Corsair H100iGTX, ASrock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer, 24GB Ram, 850 EVO 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, GTX 1080 Fractal Design R4, EVGA Supernova G2 650W
