I need a desktop for my father-in-law who is not very good with computers.

Budget: Max 500
More specific use (what games, what programs): Microsoft Office, web browsing
Planned time until purchase: now
Do you need an Operating System?: no
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No wireless card, sound card yes.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: no
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): H1T 2X3, Montreal Quebec

I guess a pre-built desktop could do the job, as it is only needed for very basic stuff.

Ill give 100 fg to whoever finds the best bang for the buck!

Thanks guys!

Thanks! il talk about it with him.

Is there anything prebuilt and/or cheaper? 500 was his absolute max and I think this might be a bit overkill for what he will use the pc for.

Any other got an idea?

thanks mate!

Ill offer him the 2 options.

do you think the 500$ one is worth the extra bucks?

If the pc lasts significantly longer that might make him want to buy the better one.

what the hell are you offering him?

you dont need more then that system for web and office.

Ps the second build he showed you with pentium could work too, but gskill and ssd is overkill and would put cheaper stuff, so is the cpu.

The hell are you looking him
He doesn't need a dedicated gpu for video output with the intent to use it soley for web and office. That is why he went with i5 and intergrated graphics. I hope you don't so these shit builds on a daily.
