Office Build

[Wayne Geissinger]

I'm building a PC for my uncle which needs to be capable of browsing the internet at blazing fast speeds, never locks up, and may be doing some LIGHT (and I stress LIGHT) video editing. I'm at a loss, as I'm more of a "raging pc gamer parts" kind of guy. I want him to have a video card, but he's a real estate guy. The budget is about $850, anyone got any mobo, processor, and video card suggestions? It's greatly appreciated! I'll post the parts I'm currently looking at soon.

For $850 i can do much better but this is an office build and this is enough. I would not get the gpu too if he don't play game it's a waste of money in that case.

Are you sure about the pentium G? Not even an i3 or i5? Like I said, pretty clueless from an office standpoint, I just know I've seen i7 cpu stickers in offices

There are soooo many option for cpu but i pick the pentium since it's an office build that i3 or i5 won't give you much more performance if all you do is office work. Other option to get is a 4130 that's the max i would get on a non gaming build.

looking at an i3 4370.

If you get that then might as well get the instead 4460 it's $30 more. But then it's overkill

there. Disregard the cost of the monitor and windows, he said $850 discounting that stuff. Here is what I may go with, considering he wants to use it way down the road, and will be learning to edit video.

A Xeon 4-core/8-hyperthread cpu to improve browsing and video editing performance. Eight GB of memory should be more than sufficient unless large video editing projects are contemplated. A 500GB ssd. Should be enough an office machine, even one that does light editing. Will make a big difference in system performance. A GTX 750 Ti. Not really needed except for light video editing. Although this model Xeon does require a gpu. High quality psu and good office keyboard and mouse.

you could also go for a APU rig?

for sure a m-atx or m-itx form factor and nice looking small case.

you need speed of the hard drive so a good SSD or a SSHD is a must.

if you went for like an AMD Kaveri 7850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113359and....

^^^ good for office and you can get a lot of memory for the future in it.

might be a good office build.if you want quality and like to be different.
