• Where are you located?
Wyoming USA (planning on shopping online/new-egg)
• What is your budget?
~$600 would be ideal. More is acceptable. Looking for a long-lasting computer
• Will you need a monitor, keyboard, and/or mouse included in that budget?
Monitor and keyboard
• Shall you be requiring an OS?
Yes
• What will you be using this rig for?
Word, Internet, Picture storage, Long lifespan.
• If gaming, what resolution will you be playing at?
0x0
• Will you be overclocking?
nope nope nope
• Do you need a full build or will you be reusing some old parts?
full build
I'm thinking an i3 (will integrated graphics on an i3 run basic video and picture viewing decently?),
at least 1 tb (are ssd's cheaper and more reliable than they were 2 years ago? speed is maybe the focus here.),
8gb,
front usb ports and sd card input.
In-laws are getting BSoD repeatedly. Gonna do a simple build. Anyone got a good list of components they can recommend? I built a gaming PC 2 years ago so i've got a little experience. I don't keep up on the latest hardware so a little advice would go a long way. For instance, I know there are differing models and generations of i3's. Don't know which one to buy.
