Posted May 26, 2015 Hey Guys I want to build a new PC for my dad since his current one is properly old (we're talking about Athlon 64 3000+ and DDR-400 old...) and thus extremely slow. Pretty much the only use for this system would be as Office-PC. I did a bit of research and this is the current build I picked out: Pcpartpicker-Link: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchantCPU: Intel Pentium G3450 3.4GHz Dual-Core Processor (€72.61 @ Home of Hardware DE)Motherboard: Asus H97I-PLUS Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard (€132.89 @ Amazon Deutschland)Memory: Corsair Vengeance 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (€40.98 @ Amazon Deutschland)Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State DriveStorage: Seagate Barracuda 250GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard DriveVideo Card: EVGA GeForce GT 630 2GB Video CardCase: Corsair 250D Mini ITX Tower Case (€92.71 @ Amazon Deutschland)Total: €339.19Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2015-05-26 21:48 CEST+0200CPU: Intel Pentium G3450 3.4GHz Dual-Core Processor (€72.61 @ Home of Hardware DE)Motherboard: Asus H97I-PLUS Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard (€132.89 @ Amazon Deutschland)Memory: Corsair Vengeance 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (€40.98 @ Amazon Deutschland)Storage: Seagate Barracuda 160GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard DriveStorage: Seagate Barracuda 250GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard DriveVideo Card: EVGA GeForce GT 630 2GB Video CardCase: Corsair 250D Mini ITX Tower Case (€92.71 @ Amazon Deutschland)Total: €339.19Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2015-05-26 20:24 CEST+0200 Since the website didnt have all parts though I decided to list them seperately with their equivalent price in US-Dollar.Case: Corsair Obsidian 250d (93$) MB: Asus H97i-Plus (135$) CPU: Intel Core I3-4150 (71$) CPU-Cooler: Be Quiet!
