Office PC help

Oink!

Ok, this is the 3rd time I'm writing this thing, since I accidentally refreshed the page right before posting it and the second time Windows updated mid-way through the process.

So I'll be quick this time.

I'm going to build a new PC for my parents, with a budget of €550-€600 (can go over budget by a few euro, but not over €630-ish), I'll be buying off of Amazon.it (since I live in Italy).

Requirements:

mATX or mITX format;

No GPU whatsoever;

Clean/elegant looking case (will be in their studio, so shall look appealing to the client).

I've already thought of it, but I always end up going over budget and/or not finding what I need.

So, could you guys put a system together for me?

Cheers,

The Slimy Pig.

I was fitting an i5-6400 in there.

I forgot to mention that this build has to last for 3-4 years.

What are their needs?

If its just for browsing the web and checking email, then I would say just buy pre-built. They would get the warranty and not have to call every time it breaks. Just search the web for a Mini atx one.

Actual work programs, such as CAD, Photoshop and 3D rendering programs.
