Hi there,

I'm hoping you can help me with a PC for my parents, to replace an older one that just bit the dust.

Asks:

  • ■ I'd like several hard drives (current one just died and I'd like to make it easy to backup photos/videos on several drives).
    ■ I don't want the computer to be huge but it doesn't have to be a mini case. A couple USB ports at the front would be great.
    ■ Will need a dvd-drive.
    ■ No one plays games, but I'd like at least an entry-level graphics card. Perhaps something that can run 4k video if that's not asking too much.
    ■ The computer doesn't need to be crazy fast. an i3 (or equivalent AMD processor) will be fine.
    ■ I already have a monitor and peripherals.

On a side-note, would it be possible to transfer over the windows 7 license from their old computer (came pre-built from HP) to this one?
My limit is $750 but with what I'm looking for, I'm thinking it should cost somewhere between $500 - $750 (Canadian$).

Thanks in advance!
