So, my wife wants me to put together a pc for a friend at her work on the smallest realistic budget. This will have to include monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. A complete package. The primary functions of the pc will be for internet and digital photo storage, maybe some word processing. No gaming, audio/video editing, real bare bones pc.
I've just started looking around for parts, and was planning on going with a celeron 420 as its the cheapest intel I've seen on newegg for lga775
really I only need a suggestion on a motherboard I think, the rest is pretty easy for me. It doesn't need overclocking options, and I won't be using them if it has them. Basically, I just want something cheap and reliable, preferably with onboard video. mATX is ok, and might even be the best way to go for this build, I'm not sure. Thanks!
EDIT: nm, decided it would be better to get a cheap Dell- I won't be the tech support
