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?

the case was 29 bux, but sold out lol
not 229 as it says LOL

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.

You grabbed the wrong link bro.

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/z8hfyc change to these parts so you can buy all the parts from Canada Computers in Laval.

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.

He posted a blank link and you were likely looking at whatever your last part list was lol
