So I'm building (or about to order and build) a PC for my parents, and before I place orders I just wanted peoples opinions and hopefully a quick check to make sure I haven't overlooked something silly (like chosen a component which won't work with the mobo, etc.). It's my first build so I'd appreciate the advice, especially as I don't want to mess it up when it's not my money!
Anyways the key components are (if any specific details are needed I'm happy to go find and report back with them, keeping it to just part names at the moment as I don't know what else is needed and don't want to put pages of useless facts and figures!):
Case:
Powercool T01B Slim Black Desktop Chassis
PSU:
Included with the case, 300W
Motherboard:
Asrock B75M-DGS Socket 115 mATX
CPU:
Intel Core i5 3350P 3.10GHz Socket 1155
Storage:
Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive (SSHD)
Memory:
Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Ballistix Sport Memory
Graphics:
At the moment I plan on putting in one of my old Radeon HD 5670s and replace/upgrade as needed after the build
Optical Drive:
Samsung 24x Sata Internal DVD(+-)RW
So those are the main parts (I think, probably forgot something!). Just as background information; the computer is unlikely (read; very) to be used for games so graphical power isn't that important. What's more important is (relatively) long term ease of use. My parents aren't that computer friendly and I'm going to get a call every time it locks up, takes forever to load, etc. so the happier I can make this PC the happier I'll be!
As mentioned, any advice or errors spotted are greatly appreciated, and any more information required, just ask
