Help with a very basic computer build.

[psykedOut]

Looking to put together a couple of machines for family members preferrably <400 as cheap as it can get while still having a decent machine for daily use (internet, microsoft office, storage, photo editing, etc)


I'm used to building high end machines and don't really know about the lower end products, so if you guys could put a couple cheapies together for me I'd appreciate it very much

Total before shipping/rebates: $444.92

That's the best i can do... unless you already have windows, then it's only $344.92 per system.

My rule of thumb for el-cheapos : the high-end machines i built 2 years ago!

^ thats a good build but theese comps are just for office use. hence the integratred video and a better psu that i listed. they will last longer i think.

I do agree consair 400W would have better quality than CM elite 460W. The main reason I suggest that is the combo deal...
May be he should keeping consiar 400w

Thant get AMD Athlon II X3 435 + MSI 870A-G54 / GIGABYTE GA-770TA-UD3
