Hi guys, just wondering if it's possible to spec a lovely little web surfing kit for my dad. He goes to a lot of flash heavy sites and plays a lot of flash games and does use it for Skype quite a bit.

I'm also looking to put in a SSD card for him (under £80 so the new 120gb Sandisk one looks great so feel free to spec that in). Won't be needing OS, ODD and HDD or any peripherals.
 
how about these:
1. net book
2. Intel atom or AMD net top + keyboard/mouse
If not powerful enough, can go for
3. Core i3+H67/H61 MoBo + cheap case
 
YOUR BASKET
1 x Sandisk Ultra SSD 120GB 2.5" SATA-2 Solid State Hard Drive - (SDSSDH-120G-G25) £69.95
1 x AMD A6-3500 2.40GHz (Socket FM1) APU Processor £56.99
1 x BeQuiet Pure Power L8 430W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in £54.98
1 x Lian Li PC-Q07B Mini-ITX Case - Black £42.98
1 x MSI A75MA-P35 AMD A75 (Socket FM1) DDR3 Motherboard £42.59
1 x Xigmatek Praeton LD964 CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1156/LGA1155 & AMD AM2/AM3/FM1) £17.99
Total : £298.98 (includes shipping : £11.25).



Something along these lines maybe, not sure if the PSU will fit or not though (first time putting a SFF build together).

You forgot a PSU and i think a SSD will be better than the HDD. If its just for web surfing i don't think 1TB is needed. The 120Gb SSD in stoner's spec will be great.

The a6-3500 also has better graphics than the 2120.

You are right.

I thought SSD isn't that critical and web surfing is more of a term for ordinary home use so I guess storing some family photos/videos or films would be potential use case for his dad.

If it's just going to be a surfing build why not build it in an isk? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-002-AN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=160

depending on the setup i dont think 90W will be enough. The a6-3500 uses about 80W on full load. Looks pretty nice though.

Its not critical, Just thinking, as its just for web surfing i doubt a lot of storage space will be used. If only ~100GB will ever be used why not get a faster SSD. Will make loading times a lot faster too.
