ok guys wondered if you could give me a hand here. the gf's old man has asked me to sort him out a pc. all he needs it for is web surfing, riping/burning cd's/dvds, something to help him use his mp3 player, and office tasks (word, excel etc)
his budget is £500 but this must include everything, even a 17" flat pannel/ cheap speakers, mouse and kb, pref a gig of ram: - the lot.
now bear in mind he wont be touching games on this thing so feel free to skimp on the gfx card, and we are talking basic pc functions here.
one more thing:- for this price and the functions he wants to use it for would i be better going for an off the chelf system from a retailer? thanks guys
