Pre-Built for Family Member

[canadianultra]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a pre-built system for a family member. 

Budget: Max $1000 preferably less

Location: Canada

Use: Internet, Office, general use, very light/no gaming

I already have a monitor

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/acer-acer-aspire-tc-desktop-pc-black-intel-ci5-6400-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-windows-10-atc-710-eb51/10407069.aspx?path=904cf6f8413085eb4ce3c7e344bd7bc5en02&SearchPageIndex=1

What are people thoughts on this?

 

Cheers

Possibly, I'm just not sure if the price to performance is there. I'm looking for something to last a while.

No matter what prebuilt you get, 

Buy an ssd and install it and move windows too it.

well pre-built pc do allow for upgrade paths, but being a family pc i doubt you'll be upgrading it often anyway lol

 

the intel NUC is fine for day to day computing, light gaming should be fine too (facebook games `-`)

If I were you , I'd pick up that Acer from Bestbuy and buy a 250 gb samsung evo SSD. Use the ssd as the boot drive. Since there is no gaming, no need for dedicated gpu. If they do start playing some games, throw in a gtx 750 or something cheap along those lines. PSU might be a future issue if they decide to upgrade the GPU though.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I actually had both of those items in my cart already debating to check out.

You'll need a sata cable if you dont have one lying around, but other than that you should be all set.
