Hi,

Looking to buy a PC for my dad. Had a look at the previous suggested builds and come up with these from lelong:

AOC 23.6” I2476VWM IPS LED MONITOR - 629.00
INTEL SKYLAKE CORE I5-6500 PROCESSOR - 815.00
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD - 195.00
Asus 24X Green Power DVD Writer - 69.00
Corsair Value Select 8GB DDR4 2133MHz - 133.00
ASROCK H110M-DGS/D3 - 250.00
WESTERN DIGITAL 3.5” 1TB - 215.00
ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 750 TI - 489.00
FSP HEXA+ 450W - 166.00
TECWARE ALPHA ATX CASE - 189.00

Total price: 3,150.00

Any comments? he wouldn't be doing any gaming but i think the rig should at least have a minimum GC right?
or better save the money to topup somewhere else?

Also, is it worth to go for an i7 processor? price wouldnt be an issue.
Just want to ask whether there would be any significant advantages or difference for day to day use compared to the i5?

If no gaming then no need to spend money on getting dedicated GPU, the iGPU (Intel HD 530) that comes with the CPU is enough for daily task.

And yea you didn't state your usage/purpose of this build, please provide info on this.

The mobo you picked is a DDR3 based Skylake mobo, it cannot work with DDR4 RAM (you picked DDR4 RAM though), so you need to change to other model.

Ah,sorry2. I guess he will only be using for basic picture/video editing,watching movies, playing around with his phone.

Noob question: Would playing higher res videos require a dedicated graphic card? Say later if I wanna connect to hd or 4K tv?

for the board, ill go with the one mentioned in above suggestion.
