Is This Build OverKill?

[z123killer]

Is this build overkill for just everyday use (browsing web and YouTube)? please leave suggestions if you have any to make this build more of an everyday pc.

Should be fine for the purpose.

*cough* APU *cough*

[Kherm]

I don't think so

[Kherm]

Did you even read what he's going to be using it for?

 

Are you joke

[dizmo]

Should be fine but I'd go with 8GB of RAM over 4GB.
Never go with 4GB.

APU :rolleyes:
Also, notice it's not for gaming...

[samcool55]

No it's perfect. 

 

But 8GB would be nice if there's room for it.

[mynameajeff]

Oopsie

Didn't care enough to read that it was apu

 

I would say buy a cheaper bigger drive no SSD

I don't need GPU, it is not a gaming build by any means

I know AMD cpu's are a lot worse then Intel cpu's but I don't need any power

and no it is not a joke i want to build a budget pc for everyday computing

[xgn]

Yea its overkill as long as you can run windows xp you can do those things

I already have an HDD in my 4 year old laptop that is about 300GB do you think I should use that instead of the SSD

[z123killer]

ok, any recommendations ?

[ArmsOutToYourMumsHouse]

You could build something even cheaper than this which would be perfectly capable of all this.

I don't know personally what I'd do if in this situation (why build a desktop PC for those needs unless it's for a school/office) - but most likely I'd get a used prebuilt machine and clean it up.

Over my dead body

Over my dead body

As I said this is an everyday build so there is no need for an SSD other then the booting time which I am ok with.

With a old laptop HDD there is, even basic everyday tasks like opening up applications will be laggy depending on what HDD it is

ok, so do think you i should get a HDD or an SSD for the build?

[ArmsOutToYourMumsHouse]

I'd actually highly recommend an SSD in this type of build.

I imagine you dont want to spend too much so i'd suggest a 120gb ssd and a 1tbh hdd you can get both for around £80 I think

any reason?

I don't need that much space though, I will only install essential software and like 4GB of photos maybe a light game.

Just go 120gb SSD then

[ArmsOutToYourMumsHouse]

any reason?

SSD (Fast loading times, boot times - good when you're in a hurry/don't want to wait around just to browse the internet)
