Hi A friend has ask me to help them look for a 2x computer
1x Office
1x Home and simple/medium Gaming
Location = Taiping Perak
Since its a considered a low end system, I opted to buy a pre made PC as it seems cheaper, not to mention hassle free.
I have narrow it down to the 2 bellow
============= OFFICE ==============
RM 975.20
[25/01] Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 73 10AS00BDMA PC
-Lenovo
-G3240
-2gb
-500gb
-DOS
-3 year warranty
http://www.lelong.com.my/25-01-lenovo-thin...6-07-Sale-P.htm- 3 year warranty, less hassle if anything goes wrong.
- i will add another 4gb ram total 6gb
- looks like a full size tower easy customization CPU can be upgraded if needed later
- atx PSU can easily replaced if anything goes wrong.
Now i need to find Ori Windows. Im still new in lowyat assume below all good sellers for Ori OS?

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3617950I was thinking of choosing Windows 7 or 8.1, they just need something stable office environment.
What you guys think?
Not sure if Windows 10 is suitable for them.
-Just dont like the idea of windows force updates and can potentially screw drivers and other stuff.
-Big Brother mentality, scanning system.
-Cortana which they will not use and probably slow their system
Or just buy the slightly more expensive i3 Asus PC below, but less warranty 1 year compared to 3. really like the 3 year warranty tho.
- For their normal office environment, I dont think they can not tell the difference between a Pentium G3240 vs i3-4160, I rather spend the money on an 120GB SSD instead and extended warranty instead.
============= Gaming ================
RM 1,259.00
ASUS K31AD-BING-MY001S I3-4160 2GB 500GB W8 PC
-Asus
-i3-4160
-2GB
-500GB
-Windows 8
-1 year warranty
http://www.lelong.com.my/asus-k31ad-bing-m...6-08-Sale-P.htm- i will add another 4gb or 8gb RAM
- looks like a full tower easy customization CPU can be upgraded if needed later
- looks like an atx PSU with 250 watt
- i think i can get away by puting a GTX 750 ti with out changing PSU.
- BUT for the price of a 750ti I can get a R9 270 which has amazing value for money, but i will need to upgrade the PSU.
------ PSU upgrade option ---------
RM 140.98
FSP HEXA+ SERIES 400W 80 PLUS POWER SUPPLY (HEXA+ 400) 80+
http://www.lelong.com.my/fsp-hexa-series-4...7-01-Sale-I.htmRM 164.30
FSP Power Supply HEXA+ Series 450W (HEXA+ 450)
http://www.lelong.com.my/fsp-power-supply-...7-01-Sale-I.htmRM 183.38
FSP Power Supply HEXA+ Series 550W (HEXA+ 550)
http://www.lelong.com.my/fsp-power-supply-...7-01-Sale-I.htmI think I can get away with 400W and save??
The PC with no graphics is not going to use more then 100W, r9 270 is not going to use more then 150W, total 250w max, is my assumption correct?
============================================
I have also concidered the blow but it not made my shortlist
coz Win10, slimPC, slightly more expensive.
