I have no idea how to use one of those i  looking for a more traditional pc 

[grimreeper132]

look at the local market/ebay and see what you can get there, e.g. there might be a core2duo PC, and a GT 710 those will be easily able to do that plus more

Perfect for those needs and a tiny form factor with a full traditional windows experience.

More processor power and faster RAM but more expensive and also larger form factor. sorry my amazon defaults to UK and my PC part picker defaults to US if you are GBP or Euro use the flag icon on the top right and it will automatically find new prices in the correct currency.

Check out second hand stuff in good condition. Terrible performance doesn't matter too much.

yeah you can't get a pc for that really. Go maybe a little over and get the Nuc? They are great little machines.

 

Otherwise your choices are: Raspberry Pi with Linux (its not that hard to use honestly) or a used very old PC

that anit a bad price for that at all, look at other GPUs mind you (I used the GT710 as an example) but yea, that is the cheapest and in my opinion best way to do something like that
