Why are you going LGA 1155 instead of the newer socket LGA 1150 if your going with the mainstream boards?

Guys, I also need a £500 build for a grandad. It's their first pc, and is just for web browsing.

I was thinking of an amd build for this. If possible, I a graphics card like the 7550 would be nice.

Make yourself a new thread here in GH. If its just web browsing AMD is a little pointless, I'll leave that discussion for that thread though..

Since it was a little pointless, I've just done it myself with the anniversary Pentium processor, and a H81 chipset board.
