Help specing my parents a computer.

[legodude]

Hi guys,

My parents are in need of a new home computer, looking for an ITX build in an Antec ISK 600, but because I have little knowledge of lower end/ITX machines I need a little help. the uses for the computer are web browsing and word processing plus my mother wishes to run a HDMI cable to her TV for HD netflix, my father also does some VERY light photo editing NO gaming! :lol: ...

 

The computer needs an SSD as the boot drive but I already own a 1TB samsung spinpoint that will be used for mass storage.

my mother has also requested the computer be as quiet as possible and needs an optical DVD rewriter.

and for my own sake I'd love a modular power supply.

 

I have a flexible budget of £400 and must be bought from www.overclockers.co.uk as I live 5 minutes from them. I do not need an OS or any peripherals.

thanks in advance! Sorry if I've missed anything

Sort by ascending price? If overclockers.co.uk is the only place you can buy from, then take a look.

Oh, I see. You want to pick out the parts.

 

Look at this http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2015/02/07/build-a-compact-1080p-gaming-pc-for-400-benchmarks-included/

and see if you can find the same parts/similar parts. 

 

The only thing you need to know is to choose an ITX case.

I don't need a graphics card, and that's in USD? so the prices don't work

Add them all together, convert to EU. Subtract GPU, and you should be fine.

 

Since you don't need GPU you should be well within the range.

it doesn't really work as we pay more for parts. and we use GBP (£) not horrible euros.

Well just look at the parts, add them up on that website and see where that leads you.
