Computer build for my sister

[dragoncurt]

Hi guys. I am wanting to build my sister a PC with her money she is 23 but I do not know what type of CPU is cheap to get and motherboard. (I built my own i5 6600k pc) 

 

I mean as She does not need a GPU

 

I was thinking maybe a dual or quad core cpu, like an i3 or i5 or even older if they still do good like the core 2 quad 

I would think around 4GB of ram or more as she will may do some multi tasking. 

She would only need it for some film based things like netflix, spotify, chrome and maybe microsoft office.

 

But would anyone know what a good CPU and motherboard are 

M budget would be around £150 maybe. Thanks

you cant really get a pc for 150 pounds

chromebook? anything else will fail if you want to buy new at this price point. Maybe take a look at second hand computers

With such a small budget, you may want to look into AMD processors instead of Intel.
I'd look into just buying a Chromebook like suggested above, though.
I have one and I love it.

no moonzy PSUs are a waist of money. my friend bought one and it only lasted for TWO DAYS after that he has to just plug it in to the wall.

op if you get a PSU get a rechargable one
