PC Build For Parents?

[Heavygun1450]

Hey guys, I need a $500 pc build for my parents. They do regular web surfing and work on their computers and they where talking about using dual monitors.. So my plan is as follows: Samsung 850 Evo 500gb SSD for main storage because I know they will probably not use more than that and they want the computer to be very responsive. For the CPU im torn between getting a Quad core or Dual core, I want something thats decently fast and future proof Preferably not spending over $150 on the cpu and just going with the stock cpu fan. As for graphics I believe I will go with integrated graphics, but the issue is can that handle 2 monitors? Or will I need a cheap GPU? For RAM im going to get 1600MHZ 8GB. For the PSU im not sure what to get here, because I dont want a cheap psu that will blow, And something 400-500W would work. For the case We want it to be a small case, No bigger than Mid Tower Micro-ATX form. And I will settle for whatever for the motherboard as long as its micro-atx. If someone could give me suggestions and maybe a PC part picker list that would be great! Thanks!

Get a Pentium G3258...decent for the price

And get a cheap GPU while youre at it, if you ever want to run 2  monitors

It's small, like you asked and it supports two monitors via the igpu.

The pentium is not good for gaming anymore, the 860k has way better value

Not sure if you needed monitors in the build or not, 

If you don't, then for the price this is a decent build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hnmPt6 with a lifespan to boot. The slightly slower athlon x4 860k is going to make it a much better tradeoff than the dual core pentium, which will start to bottleneck should they begin any sort of multitasking.

 

If you DO need monitors, then some sacrifices have to be made, and even then the total comes out just barely over 500 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gzK8WZ

Even if its not for gaming, i would take the 860k

A Skylake i3 provides sufficient power. In the build I suggest the motherboard is a touch more expensive as it has WiFi and supports two HDMI up to 4096, and a DVI-D up to 1920 simultaneously. A single stick of memory, to allow for an upgrade and a decent 480GB ssd.

 

While many steer clear of all cases that include psu, I do not. There are a few manufacturers that tend to include decent psu in some of their cases. Inwin is one such.

I really like that build, Might switch out the RAM for 2 sticks and really like the Wi-Fi motherboard and Processer, Dont like that PSU tho
