Make a computer for my parents with left over parts.

FineVisionz

So,  I am upgrading my computer and with the extra parts my parents are interested in me making a computer for them.  I will need some parts to have a complete build though,  here is what I have.

 

Case

Motherboard

CPU and cooler AMD 6300

GPU AMD 7850 2gb

DVD drive

 

My parents want to spend no more than $200 to get the parts needed.

 

What parts would you recommend for me to get to complete this build under $200 ?  I need a wireless wifi.

Get a Corsair CX500M power supply, a random 4GB DDR3 DIMM, a TP-Link WN781ND WiFi card and a Crucial 120GB BX100 SSD.

I doubt they will be gaming so try and sell the GPU and get a 7750 or 7770 used. Atm, you need a 500W PSU, preferably 80+ at least. case doesn't really matter too much.

Yes,  they won't be gaming but I would rather keep the GPU then sell it.

Well, your call but I'd still sell it for a pretty penny. 7850s (R9 270s) are still worth quite a bit.

As for Mobo, get a cheap one by Asus and seeing as you already have a CPU cooler it should be fine. Like others said, random 4 gig stick of RAM and a Wi-Fi card.

Oh Wow, I didn't know that. I thought even the reference design by AMD had 2 gigs. They might have done it to cut costs on the cooler and card I guess. Still, wow. You learn something every day I guess.
