Looking to put together a small micro ATX or mini ITX AMD based budget system for a family member. This is new territory for me so I'm in need of some advise.
The budget is around £300 for just the base system only. They already have a copy of Win 7 Home and Monitor.
I'd really like to squeeze in a solid state or hybrid drive so the system feels fast and responsive.
Processing power and GPU performance are not critical - this will be an internet browsing and general photo editing (light adjustments only) PC with the occasion light gaming session for the grand kids.
My thoughts are:
AMD APU
Mini ITX
4Gb RAM
Hybrid drive (so they get the simplicity of one drive, with the benefit of some SSD cache)
Looking for recommendations for the case, motherboard, CPU/APU, power supply, CPU cooler.
If you can fit a DVD drive into this price bracket that would be even better. Not checked to see if ITX cases support it yet!
If you can put some suggested builds together that would be awesome!
Thanks all.
