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

"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."

Closer !

honestly I think I've spoken with you long enough.

...that buzzing case though, it annoys the hell out of me it drove me nuts with my HP would not stop buzzing when I put a second hdd inside.

xDDD What a website...

And yeah, this is considered playing games, let's stop insulting each other, shall we? 😉

Also, there's no need for airflow. Enough airflow to get to the CPU is aplenty. If OP wants, we can make it more silent, but that's about as far as we need.

lol that's what I was saying you barely need any airflow for a office pc.

XD That i3 would last an office computer a lifetime though.

you was spending 300$ on a peice of $%#@ when we was giving him what he was asking for a 500$ pc that would be good office pc and last for awhile.

BOOM!!!!

All right, you guys spent 500 mostly on frills with no thought to the future, other uses, You spent big chunks of $'s on empty boxes when I would have used an old one, The O.P.'s budget is a bit high. Granted.
But you should just tell them really and cut a little off.
If your humble alloy box buzzes a bit,it doesnt mean they all do it (never came accross that).
Just my opinion, you are all entitled to yours.
Night Gang.

Even the NZXT source 210 (my moms build) had a bad vibration (she did have two hard drives or three I don't recall, and that was a $50 case but the medal was just too thin. I will not make that mistake again. I hope you see where I am coming from now. I switched it out for a Define R4... the only case I cannot hear at 6V on the fans.

... I hate NUCs they have no expandability, but I must say not bad.

 

[okcnaline]

Well, all you need is a VESA mount (behind monitors), a nice little HDD, and a bit of RAM. But otherwise, I believe it is problem solved! xDDD

Expandability is not an issue, rather Im building for someone who lost a pc and cant get work done in his home, he know I had some experience building systems up but Im usually doing gaming builds. I though I would get a more cost effective pc by building it my self, since I always felt that you get rip off when buying them at your office deepot or something of the sort.

 

[okcnaline]

Look, the best solution is to get a NUC for the office. It's small, powerful, and cheap. Decent quality also.

Im inclining to go that route, but I read somewhere it lack ram and hard drive, not sure if that was outdated or false. If so I dont mind getting does separate just making sure when I made the purchase everything is there 😉

not sure if you need an operating system or not.

 

[zlayerz]

no OS, only need the hardware itself beside monitor and peripherals

 

[okcnaline]

The NUC is a barebones unit, meaning there are some components that would not be included. And adding the RAM is simply removing 4 screws, slotting the RAM in, then pressing down. Maybe repeat one or 2 times.

The hard drive is also easy. While doing the RAM, slot the HDD in at the top, screw in 4 screws, then you're done.

Ya I hate when tiny box cases make it so hard to mount anything, anyway my worries were that if they came or not, to make sure I order them if I go the nuc route
