Budget PC 500$ Non Gaming

[zlayerz]

So Im looking into building a pc for office related work, I want it to be as fast as possible for these task, For graphic at best it would be youtube and instagram editing that sort of things.

There's no need for Monitor Keyboard and mouse, OS software.

Whoever to buy it I need it either all on newegg or amazon, cant really mix the two

was able to fit in a skylake platform would be the newest and most future proof system.

 

[a39232]

...um you do realize that Gigabyte is one of the top manufactures, besides that $70 the s340 is one of the most bought cases on the market and very well built even though it has its flaws there minimal. The cpu cooler is the most used im pretty sure as well. and my Pentium g3258 at 4.2 ghz runs very well on my living room pc.

However yes there is no such thing as future proof.

 

[Majestera]

The 70$ case might not be needed, but i agree with A39232, the cooler and power supply are good.

The 70$ case might not be needed, but i agree with A39232, the cooler and power supply are good.

yes the case is not needed but i must say it is a looker i think and i love it. Built my dad a 7850k home pc with the h440 its awesome i must say, forgot to mention Seasonic has a very good reputation for their PSU's.

 

[a39232]

Dell will sell you a box for that job for < $400, your machine is WAY over speck for an office box.
I have personally purchased i5 office boxes for less than your build, as I described earlier.
$70 for a case is just extravagance.[/quotemsg

Custom computers are built with quality not OEM parts that is why they will always be more expensive.

Could i make a cheaper pc sure but i rather not sacrifice quality. Thats not how I build my computers.

EX: dad's pc

 

[a39232]

No argument its a good psu.It does not go on an office box.
Keep it competitive..
Stock coolers are free,mostly an office box cpu is doing nothing.
Background noise etc means it doesnt matter anyway.
Another $28 down the swanny.
Think about the use,not your preference.

That is true most stock coolers are free but some are abnormally loud (maybe just me i have very good hearing)

 

[a39232]

But your machine just fails the budget for purpose and would not get built,by me, for anybody else.
Its your fathers machine, not a reasonable sensible office box build.
Congrats. You built the best machine your father ever could hope for.
Now please stop posting the build,Dell shares are climbing by the minute.

So is this more of the system you are talking about ?

[a39232]

Oops, Dell have just taken an option on 5 hectares of gajhikistan and bought a copper mine in Peurto Rico.

you said office box, a box is small.

Tell you what show me a build and ill tell you what I dislike about it, because this form is getting no where.

Why would you go with a case made of thin aluminum ? they cause a very annoying humming sound with hdds. and are very flimsy.

 

[Majestera]

no one wants to be annoyed while working

 

[a39232]

well my problem is that his budget is $500 where's the rest of the money going to go ? Sure you don't have to use all the funds, but it just doesn't make sense. Would you mind elaborating so I may understand your reasoning.

Save up the funds... You aren't gaming. A simple i3 is way more than enough for office boring work all day long.

A i3 is what I would use, great single core performance for the basic tasks that will be single core optimized I am assuming.

 

[okcnaline]

Eh... Cloud storage.

Actually, even better:

Just to utilize most of the budget after taxes are taken into account.

*EDIT*

Did everyone miss there part where the OP said he needs the suggestions consolidated to either newegg or amazon? >.>

 

[Majestera]

and the cases they are recommending are small for his workspace

 

[a39232]

http://I believe this is more on point.

and to small to me means inconvenient or airflow suffers, not that it matters much when its only an office pc.

 

[Majestera]

would you quit talking about DELL, you seem like a alienware fanboy

 

[okcnaline]

tea urchin, at this rate, let's just recommend the Lenovo X1 Carbon and be done with it... xDDD

I don't get Majestera and a39232 at all. This is an office build. The smaller the better. You need pretty much no horsepower to run Microsoft Office, eBay, YouTube...

And stop, Majestera, I've seen tea urchin's posts before, he ain't a fanboy.

 

[okcnaline]

tea urchin, please. I thought we were all friends here...

 

[Majestera]

Lol you guys are so funny, and im sure were just giving him what hes paying for when Tea is wanting to give him a garbage pc.

and i havent said anything about you okcnaline.

 

[a39232]

this is getting annoying think we should stop playing his game, seems like he's just trying to make someone upset.

 

[Majestera]

agreed.
