Critique My Build - $430 budget PC

ztrain727 · 04-29-2009, 08:50 PM

Hey Guys,

I'm building a PC for my mom and trying to keep the price below $500. She mainly just uses her email, but also edits photos and uses various other basic programs. Therefore, I don't need anything hi-end, but definitely quick.

Here is the part list I came up with for a complete build minus the monitor. Everything can still change EXCEPT the HDD, which I already bought.

Total: $430

(I didn't want to type it all out, so excuse the image. The (-...R) stands for rebate)
