hi,
just need some help picking a amd cpu for a cheap build its for my parents who dont need anything like high end specs or parts, but thought i might be able to build them on cheaper than they can buy one for.
not built an amd pc before so not familiar with the socket types.
im thinking the AMD Phenom II X2 555 3.2 GHz will be good on ebay for £40
use will mainly be internet and Microsoft office, messing round with pics need to be able to cope with multiple windows and files open at once ect maybe some online games and low end games.
sempron and athlon 2 are cheaper. do you think these will do the job? i think am3 socket is the best to go with so any suggestions for a cpu would be apprichated. thansk
