Posted February 26, 2017 if you don't have a ton of files yet, for example, if this is your first PC, you may want to consider buying a 240 gb SSD and once that fills up you can add a mass storage drive. It is much easier to add a mass storage drive down the line then to move a windows installation to an SSD down the line.

Posted February 26, 2017 You don't say what the person is using the computer for, but if they're never upgrading then it's probably basic surfing and spreadsheets. So based on that, you're aiming for a low-end, super basic "future-proofed" pc. Ranked the most important parts are: SSD Monitor CPU (Ryzen is exploding the market so prob worth it to wait) RAM (b/c Chrome and millions of tabs) Keyboard and mouse PSU Case GPU if any ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ New LMG Channel Survey | LTT Gender Survey Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/744210-550-build/#findComment-9429176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
