budget build plan for friends dad

[Bl00dgod]

yesterday i got a call from my mates dad to get a new pc because his current is getting slow and winXP doesnt work as fast as he wants it to

his current rig got a intel core duo and some other currently unknown specs until i check them for myself ...

so IMO i dont think it´ll be worth to upgrade it and go instantly for a new rig and put him from the ages of win XP to the future

a few years passed since i build the last budget build so i´d like some advice

currency euro

 

usage: he doesnt plan on playing any games on it, so its only for officework, browsing and watching HD movies

 

with a small form factor like mini or micro atx

CPU - AMD Athlon X4 880K                    or i3 6100               
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3       or asus, gigabyte... whatever h110 board
RAM - kingston value ram 8gb 2133 ddr 4
SSD : 850evo 250gb  for the OS

HDD - maybe he wants to keep his old storage HDD´s but at the same age of the intel core duo they might need to be replaced
PSU - some evga or xfx / seasonic
Case - maybe corsair carbide air 240

 

 

what would you suggest?

I'd get an i3 over that AMD cpu anyday

Doesn't have an iGPU. i3 6100 would be better.

No you need a A series APU or else you most buy a graphics card... (I vote APU because they are cheap)

i´d go for the intel build too to safe money instead of buying a gpu

the onboard graphics are ok playing hd/blueray content without problems? 

 

if he start to think about playing some games he can still get a gpu later if the performance isnt enough

The PSU doesn't necessarily have to be top tier. The Corsair CX or EVGA will work fine. With the money saved from that, you could invest into a quieter aftermarket cooler.

i´d go with a lower evga or be quiet psu (using them for ages) instead and put a noctua or scythe cooler on it
