PC Budget Build Recommendation

[AphoticFX]

Hi guys.

I'm looking to build a cheap for my aging parents.

They'll be using nothing more than just to browse web and watch youtube videos.

Is the Intel G3250 sufficient or can we go cheaper? I would like recommendations on other parts as well.

Regards.

You can consider AMD or even second-hand components. Mind sharing your budget?

I don't mind AMD. As long as it works fine. Would it be possible to hit below $300? I don't need the peripherals or display.

I would recommend net book as your requirement is not high. They can still watch their favourite drama on-the-go. Give them some hype with same budget.

I'd prefer a desktop. Thanks.

Thanks. Is there anyone else that offer similar services like Fortran, where they assist in building and deliver?

most of the stores that sell pc parts in sls will help build it for you if you request it, just that they may ask for a fee.

Up to you to believe, but I have been using a cheap Ivy Bridge Celeron, with 4 GB Value RAM and cheap HDD to surf Web and watch YouTube. So far, I am satisfied with it.

I suppose any last season Haswell Celeron going for cheap should do the job as well.

if you buy the whole pc they will fix for you foc. unless you only buying some parts then must pay a fee.
