Hey guys,

i've been looking for some parts for an upcoming build i have to do and i need some input.

What is it for: only office: most times word and stuff like that, little bit of browsing and surfing

How much: no limit, but as cheap as it can get with high quality components, should work for the next 5 years without changing anything.

like to have a small thing, max a small mid tower. iGPU is also fine as there are no programs that are demanding grpahics other than displaying some numbers and letters.

i thought about a i3 4330 and 8gb of ram and a 1tb hdd, ssd not necessarily because win 8.1 or 10. What motherboard in itx/matx size is good? what small decent looking case?

Peripherals will be not needed.

Thanks for input.

I would get an a10 APU

I would get 8GB's of ram

I would get a 120GB Kingston HyperX Fury SSD and 500GB HDD (SSD's are awesome)

I would get a Mini ITX motherboard, due to it is smaller.

Get Win 8.1 then update to 10 in a couple months time.
