Hi!
A friend of mine is looking for a new computer for his kids/himself and I'm honestly not sure what to do. Would it be better to just pick up a pre-built one from futureshop/bestbuy or build one?
The things they will use it for are just "everyday things" like: facebook, youtube, school work, watching movies or something and just any other browsing.
He wants something that's "good" and will last quite some time
Budget - up to $900
Resolution - 1680 x 1050 I guess, He may connect it to his television whilst watching movies or something
Games / Settings Desired - No games, but that could change down the road
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)- No
Country - Canada
Parts that can be reused - 0
Do you need an OS? Yes
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? No
if the parts could be found on ncix that would be great
Thanks!
