Hello guys
I'll be building an office system for my friend's parents soon. It's been a long time since I've built my last system, so I don't know how AMD and Intel currently stack up against each other in terms of max performance per dollar.
Their budget equals to around 450$, and this includes the following (since I plan to reuse some components)
*CPU
*mobo (with integrated graphics)
*RAM
*HD
*PSU (currently researching if old one could be reused)
They plan to use the computer for daily home use, i.e. writing documents/surfing, no games, etc. The load factor is probably going to come from the 3rd party software they install for whatever devices they connect to it XD.
So which would be best suited for this purpose? Intel iSomething or the current amd offerings?
thx!
