New build £450 budget

[ShortWarning]

Hey guys,

My Dad is after a new PC. He uses it for browsing the internet and doing office type stuff.

He needs just the PC (he has a monitor, keyboard, mouse, a Windows license and a backup drive).

Get we get something decent within his budget?

Thanks a lot!

You don’t nweded a dedicated gpu, if you want new tech and from ryzen the APU for under £100 will do.

But as it’s for general and office work then this should do the job just fine. I know you mentioned a backup drive, but saving on windows I was able to include a very fast 500gb ssd, so that celeron is not only a quad, but had turbo, so it will perform better than my AM1 sempron quad that has no turbo which is doing my none game needs perfectly fine.
