Cheap office pc

[GiteZz]

Hello everyone!

 

I'm building a cheap office pc in the range from 300-400 euro. This is what I came up with:

 

-Kingston SSDNow V300 120Gb SSD ~80 euro

-Corsair VS350 ~33 euro

-A8-5600K ~90 euro

-Fractal Design Core 1000 ~35 euro

-ASRock FM2A55M-VG3 ~43 euro

-Crucial 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit ~75 euro

 

In total it is 356 euro.The os is probably going to be a Linux distro. Thoughts?

also your spending too mutch on the wrong ram. if it's not supposed to game get a pentium.

4 gb of ram is enough, and 1333 is fast enough for office apps

I would get 4GB of RAM and something like a Celeron G2120. A cheap hard drive could cut down on costs a little bit, it won't make that much of a difference in office.

Thanks guys for the replies!

 

I chose 8Gb instead of 4Gb because I could get the 8Gb within the budget and because they will likely use these pc's for a long time.(This was the cheapest 8Gb kit, even 1333Mhz was more expensive). I chose the A8 over the celeron and the pentium because they have 4 cores and a stonger iGPU, I wasn't sure about this so I would like some more opinions. Pentium, Celeron or A8? 

 

I didn't need a HDD because everything gets saved on a server and a SSD feels so flued. Maybe I will chose the 60Gb, but 60Gb isn't allot so I'm not sure.

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

 

The build also looks fine.
