So, it's about time for my dad to get a new PC. His old Dell is starting to have its faults. Plus it's just very poorly balanced in general.

Here's what I threw together:

He mostly needs CPU power. he does lots of Excel number crunching, web browsing, and stuff like that.

His budget is $800 USD. No peripherals needed

What are your thoughts?

You know that guy that games on a MacBook? I'm that guy.

It probably is, but it's his budget so I designed something to fit it.

Are you fucking kidding me?

 

8GB RAM, i5 4690, stock cooler and scrap the damn GPU, he doesn't play any games.

 

And get a 350W PSU

 

Respect your dads hard-earned money

 

edit: Here's a good build with a PSU you can re-use for his next one. SeaSonic make one of the best PSUs.

Hell, buy him a mechanical keyboard, he'll love it for sure.
