nope
we are poorfags
must be under 300 euro

>>54584437
does it really need 250GB of storage if that's all he does

Buy him a refurbished laptop. I'm sure he still has his old PC's monitor, keyboard and mouse laying around if he wants to keep using them. Plus the old man can take the laptop to his old man chair if he wants to chill out there.

Upgrade the cpu to at least a nice i5 or midrange i7
You need at least 16 GB RAM if you want the rig to be useful in a year's time
Get a rosewell psu, they're best
That's a low end ssd too, might as well get a mechanical drive

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

>>54584437
Does he even need 8gb of ram or 250gb of SSD?
4gb and 128 should be enough if that's really all he does.
Also, I'd get an acutal good PSU. You really don't need 500W, get a good 250W instead, it will be the same price and much less problematic.
Other than that this seems pretty good. Are you reusing the old case?

>>54584545
that's not a tripcode you fucking autist

>>54584545
Clan tags are now tripcodes?
Wut

>>54584505
thats actually a good idea
but laptop screens are SHIT senpai
they are low resolutions and/or shitty TN panels
no good screens for cheap
last year I got him a good AMVA monitor too

>>54584569
I selected 250GB because I don't plan on upgrading for like a decade

8GB because browsers just consume every single megabyte and it needs it

also please show me a good 250W PSU

old case is still in good condition
I'm a bit worried about it because its a big case and the motherboard is tiny-ATX size
are they compatible?

>>54584526
>gaming tier CPU for fucking fagbook/jewtube/random browsing

dumb intel shills

>>54584637
The case should be compatible with mATX, and I agree with having 8gb of ram.

Spend an extra 30 bucks and get an i3

>>54584437
I needed a similar youtube/facebook machine, OP. Here's the build I went with:

>>54584930
thats just a stick

>>54584953
Exactly

A Celeron and 4 GiB RAM are enough.

>>54584526
>get a rosewill PSU
Dumbest advice I've heard, they're shit. Either seasonic or one of the EVGA units made by superflower or enjoy your blown caps

>>54584437
maybe you could save some money if you get an AMD A4 or A6 instead of a pentium

>>54584437
APU

Get a G3258 and overclock it, it still has the low cost segment covered.
Throw in a SSD and look at it fly.

>>54586721
>falling for the G3258 meme

I had one, it was just barely worth what I paid for it. Even at it's max stable frequency, it still gets BTFO by my 6100.

>>54584526
>an i5 or i7 for light internet usage
>a HDD over SSD for 250GB drives

Literally the dumbest tech advice I've heard this year. A Sandy-bridge Pentium is more than enough for the average grandpa, and the SSD would absolutely be worth it too.

>>54584437
>G4400
Good choice, probably one of the best compromises between price, efficiency and performance out there atm.
>Kingston 8 GB
I would also go with 8 GB. It's future proof and costs nothing
>Samsung 850 EVO Basic 2.5" 250GB
I'd go with something like 64 GB. If he needs storage in the future, he can very easily buy another HDD (external or internal).

By the way, don't even think of listening to >>54585973 and >>54586721. You save absolutely no money in the long run.
