Two new computer builds.

Thread Starter 
Hey guys I am building two computers for a friend and I pretty much have them down but want to double check my choices with OCN.

First build is as my friends main computer for everyday browsing and a little gaming (Mostly Diablo 3 and Skyrim). Parts are as follow:

448


Second build is for his grandma so will only be needed for a basic computer user, web browsing and whatnot. Parts are as follow:

404


So fellow OCNers, anything you would change or add (while keeping to a similar price point) to improve these?

Anything I have forgotten? Any incompatibilities? Any other advice or ANYTHING to say?

I appreciate any input guys, thanks.

ps. Any part suggestsions please use the same website I use (https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php) as it is the best one we have access to here.

For the grandma's build, I would recommend 4 GB, I doubt she'll need 8.
Also, does she need that much space? At that price, I would get a 64GB SSD and that would be more efficient for her.

Just asked my friend, he says hes actually getting two of the cheaper builds for family members, one will need the 1TB and the other we can just get a 500GB. That APU is fine for watching 1080p video right? (I'd very much assume so but this is advice for a friend so I don't wanna be wrong).

As for the SSD I believe they have a shorter life than HDDs don't they? They won't need the speed bonuses and these computers should last a while.

In a general build that doesn't require alot of storage a SSD makes the entire comptuer "faster" by loading faster and no wait for boots or loading browsers compared to hd (trust me the difference is amazing)


Also I would get a WS blue for both builds, as seagates reliability isn't what it used to be. and I had 3x 7200.10 320 gb hds that went bad and my 500 gig WD AAKS blue is still going strong


Also on the cheap build a quality 300 watt psu is more than enough, may can save some $$

about your build i would say going with a 4+1 Phases motherboard would be a very bad if you have overclocking in mind i would say rather something like
ASUS P8Z77-M PRO $149.00
would be better
case i would say the CM Elite 430 $50 would be a better and a cheaper choice
lastly the Graphic card pay the same but get a better clocked card 920Mhz vs 975Mhz

Gigabyte Radeon HD7850 2GB OC 975MHz

as for your grandpa's build
just change the PSU to this
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_535&products_id=18878
and if its a APU build 1600Mhz is the minimum RAM frequency you should go with 1333 Mhz with bottleneck it

Hope you liked it and it helped smile.gif

The normal user will see the most "speed" from their computer come from read/write times. where the SSD shines. I would not hesitate to get one for Grandma. Also, you might want to add a cooler for the i5 gaming build. thumb.gif When overclocked to their maximum potential, Sandy Bridge and Ivy will perform almost the same.
