Hello all,
Was wondering if people could help me out a wee bit with a spec for a fairly low end PC with the ability to be plugged into a HDTV via HDMI
The person I'm helping is looking for it mainly for basic desktop usage and for some gaming, though again nothing fancy, just games that have been out for a few years at this stage.
Was thinking maybe a cheap Athlon PC but I'll bow to your superior knowledge in this area.
Requirements
CPU
Motherboard
RAM
HDD
GPU
PSU
Case (cheap and cheerful)
Budget: £500
There's an old copy of XP knocking about here somewhere which should be okay for now however he is considering upgrading to Windows 7 at some point in the future so ideally the system should be specced with Win 7 in mind. He has a screen as well though he's not sure on the resolution but it's quite old so I'm guessing 1024x768 to maybe 1280x960
Also, he won't be clocking it.
Thanks in advance,
Antar.
