Hi,
My 10yo son has my old work PC - it's an old Dell Optiplex with 2 GB RAM. It's really showing its age now and can't even run minecraft. I want to get him a system for his birthday and wondered if it was possible for £200? It doesn't need to play the latest games.
His screen res is 1280x1024. Already have: mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers. I just need a new base unit, so am looking for:
Case
mobo
CPU (prefer Intel)
4GB RAM
Graphics (possibly integrated)?
Cheap HD - we could recycle the HD from his old machine, but I need to check if it's SATA or not.
I was wondering if some kind of bare bones, integrated system was available at this price point? I mgiht be able to stretch to £250 if really needed.
