Hello fellow people, this thread is on the behalf of my grandfather's desire to have a PC built just for him.
Here are his words:
"I want something that is fast like when you click it, boom, it is there. I like the layout of Windows 7. I am not fond of Windows 8 or 10. I don't game. I go on YouTube, check my e-mail, browse the world wide web and pay my bills."
Currently, he owns an HP Pavillion 500-281.
Question,
Is there hardware from his PC that could be used in his potential build?
His budget is $1,500.00
USEFUL INFORMATION
I made a build a couple years ago thanks to this communities feedback on what is sufficient for 60 FPS gaming on a 1080p monitor. I am not confident enough to build one for him without y'alls opinions. However, apart from gaming, I found my PC being absolutely perfect for what my grandfather wants out of a computer.
Here is my build:
CPU: i5 7500 3.4Ghz
Motherboard: GA-B250M-DS3H
RAM: ADATA XPG Z1 (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400
Storage: PNY CS1311 240GB 2.5" SSD
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD
Video Card: GTX 1060 6GB
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400 Tempered Glass
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 HOME OEM 64-bit
Even though his budget can cover the cost of my computer, my question is,
What parts can be reduced in cost but are still effective? Since my computer was made for gaming only? I want to make sure he gets the most bang for his buck, but also don't want anything he doesn't need. He wants a case with a CD tray as well.
Thank you in advance guys. Much love.
