Hi guys !
Since Microsoft has ended support for XP, wanted to get a new rig for my parents.
Need some suggestions.
Budget: ~RM1000
Purposed: Light surfing, occasional scanning/word processing/printing
Hardwares that will be re-use: Maybe two HDD but planning to get a new one for fresh install (SSD?)
Monitor resolution: Forgot, but got cheap LCD monitor
Games & softwares that use frequently: Google chrome, MS Word
Personal preferences: Don't need GC can right ? Need optical drive.
Location: Can go to Lowyat
You can actually consider Intel NUC, nice AIO package for light computing.
And I don't think you can get genuine Windows OS together with SSD within that budget.
This is a rough estimation for the cost needed.
CPU - 180
Mobo - 180
RAM - 130
DVD - 60
Cheap CASE + PSU - 100+
OS - 180+ (windows 7 starter, better get at least home)
SSD - 280+
Minimum total = 1110
Optional:
wireless card - 12+
