Hi guys, my friend's PC appears to be dead and he wants to replace it. He doesn't run any graphic-intensive games or software and uses it mainly for face book games and work use (probably don't need a video card).

Budget is $600 (without OS, monitor, DVD drive, hard disk, keyboard and mouse).

I was thinking Intel G3258 but I am aware that it is a bit dated now (and he doesn't overclock, so it is a bit of a waste). Haven't been in the game for more than a year so don't know much about current hardware though.

Any recommendations guys ?
