Low End PC Rig.

[noh8m8]

Hello guys, can anyone suggest me a rig that is purely just for surfing the net, watching movies? My budget is about 500-600. A ssd would be good if you could include that. One of my top priorities is that the case must be a compact one. Thanks in advance! Cheers!

You can view my specs then and i too only use for surfing and movies. Just got my rig from pc themes 2 weeks ago.

intel g3240 + asrock h81m-hds @$153
Kingston 1600mhz ddr3 cl11 value ram 4gbx1 @$46
adata s900 ssd 128gb @$95
wd hdd 1 tera blue @$75
lite-on/samsung odd @25
cooler master 343 micro case + c.m.400w psu @$85
Win7 hm premium 64bit@$133

ttl:$612
Buy and build @ pc themes.

$50 cheaper compared to my rig build. oh ya btw provided the above recommendations hold stocks hor. That time i build, crucial ram ddr3 no stock, dun have lite-on ssd s900 128gb etc. and certain components such as sata odd and sata hdd from your old pc can transfer to your new build. thus u can save @100 on new odd and hdd.

what roy said is correct. Setup MPC-HC properly and you will enjoy it.

Depending on how fussy videophiles are. For me, i am using GTX 750 for my madVR rendering needs. Can see noticeable difference in quality, especially upscaling.
