What is your budget and currency?
£300-400
What will you use the PC for?
Web browsing, media
Do you need a monitor? If not, what monitor(s) will you be using?
Maybe, if I can find a cheap one. 1920x1080
Do you need a keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals?
No
Do you need an operating system?
No
Will you overclock?
No
Anything else we should know?

I want to build a cheap PC for my Dad (he's 75), so gaming is not a consideration. I do want it to be fairly future proof though: 8g RAM, i5+, terabyte HD for his music and media, plus smaller SSD to run Windows 10.

I know this is not the usual fare you experts like to get your teeth in to, but any help will be much appreciated! I can put a PC together, but I am terrible with knowing what parts to buy.

Hey there:

This basic PC build site was recommended to me by a veteran builder. Hope it helps.


logicalincrements.com/


You can choose the build based on budget, and the site gives you a basic summary of the general capabilities of the build.

Or you could drop the 1TB HDD to get a better case instead. Easy enough to add an HDD later anyway
