Need sugestions/help building low end pc Wednesday, April 11, 2012 7:48 PM (permalink)
My Dad asked me if I could build a new PC for Grandpa and I could use a little help selecting parts.  He would like to keep it under $500 if possible. Keep in mind it is for my Grandpa and he don't game mainly e-mails, pictures, skype. Here's what I selected and its a little over budget.
 
Intel Core i3 2105 3.1GHz  134.99
ASrock H61/U3S3  69.99
GSkill Ripjaw 8GB 41.99
MS Windows 7 HP  99.99
Corsair 430W Builder Series 44.99
Thermaltake V3 Black Case 49.99
LG 22x DVD Burner 16.99
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 79.99<---****
 Total =  538.92
 
I just though that together going off newegg reviews. I don't know a lot about AMD but maybe it would be a better route? Thanks for any help and suggestions you guys can offer.
