office machine

subbytna · 16 Oct 2013 at 11:36

Can someone spec me a dual core office machine - not for gaming just to do the basics (office 2010 etc)

Few requirements though

100gig or 120gig SSD
1tb internal storage
keyboard/mouse - wired
case
PSU
MOBO
dual core CPU
4 or 8 gig compaitble RAM

NO OS
No monitor

Is there a way to have inbuilt wireless? I've only used a dongle before but I'd like to get a wireless option to connect online without anything showing external. Wireless card??? I dont' actually know what's best hence this post

Budget is as low as possible please

No need for a quadcore as it's only to do office work and I didn't think the extra expense of a quadcore was worth the extra money but I'm willing to be educated if it's an option

That's great, plenty to think about so thanks to everyones suggestions. Does the wireless adapter just plug into a PCIE slot?

I think I'll go that Lan Li case with the cheap 347 option

That Micro ATX motherboard in the cheaper spec won't fit in the Mini ITX Lian-Li case.

Everything fits here ok yes? No case clearance issues?

Are there any mobo's that have USB3 slots? Might be using that route for an external HD at some point

Thanks again

It fits.

I'd stick with G3220 for office build.

subbytna · 16 Oct 2013 at 21:16

Is it better than the Richland?

subbytna · 16 Oct 2013 at 21:20

http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/150/AMD_A4-Series_A4-4000_vs_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_G3220.html

I've had a look and the g3220 is way faster :/ Decisions

Can I get a 350 quid g3220 build? or am I looking for too much?

Ethermaster · 16 Oct 2013 at 21:21

It is a better chip but at the end of the day if this is just for general Excel and Word processing the richland will be fine.

Ethermaster · 16 Oct 2013 at 21:28

OK cheap G3220 build.

That's a nice spec.

Would this be a slightly better cheaper PSU though?
