Hi all,

I'm looking into treating my parents to a new computer (the one they have is ancient!). All they do is browse the internet, youtube and download the odd film/listen to music and such.

I'd like to get them a decent HD monitor as well as a solid/fast PC.

Needs ethernet/wifi capability.

Any suggestions? I'd rather not build it myself (not much free time and I'd like to have a warranty in case anything happens).

Budget is £300-400

Better board, SSD & HDD and a little better PSU + Dual channel RAM rather than single.

Including a OS, removing the HDD and dropping the CPU/RAM down slightly.
Do they need a DVD drive?
