For those uses, buy a $500 PC from the store and call it a day. It will have plenty of horsepower for those uses for a while to come.

There isn't a reason for Z97/more than 8GB of ram/a videocard/great PSU (good of course, but not great)... etc.

Oh, ok.

Thanks for reply.

I think the reason they wanted to build is they didn't want manufacturer's PC.

But, I will tell them what you said.

And if they still want to custom build, it's their choice I guess, since they are the one who the spending their money for.

And they aren't my family members, so, can't do anything about it.

So, thanks for reply.

We both did what we could do.
