Cheap non-gaming PC

[Nikolaos]

Two days ago I sold my gaming PC for next to nothing in order to force myself to stop playing games. Now I have withdrawal syndrome.

I need your advice on a new cheap, reliable PC that can't play games. Especially strategy, management, base building, city building and simulators. I need a PC that will force me to NOT play Factorio (that game is demonic).

Unfortunately, Factorio's minimum spec requirements are very low.

I will be using this PC for browsing, excel, word, movies and such light stuff.

Please advise on a new 24'' basic monitor (80-12- quid), a cpu with integrated graphics and very reliable motherboard and psu. So, cheapness and longevity are the main characteristics I'm looking for.

Cheers.

Sorry, can't work efficiently with tablets, I need a keyboard. Laptops are also excluded for their limited longevity.

Seriously, came here to say get a tablet. You can get a keyboard and mouse.

Alternatively get an Atom netbook (one of the older crappy ones) and install Android on that. This is driven by your need to avoid gaming temptation.

Thanks. Maybe a chromebook would suit me as well?
