Motherboard Bundles | Making a computer for my dad

My dad has asked for a estimate price what it would cost to build him a new computer.

I would keep the existing hard drive and PSU and case.

I'm looking at some sort of motherboard bundle. Something dual or quad core that comes with a descent amount of ram.

He'll be mainly using it for internet use and playing pin ball lol.

My guess is around £150 at the very most, including a 128MB/ 256MB graphics card.

Do you have any suggestions? I'll be running XP on it.

Thanks
Dan

Go to Amazon.com, or Newegg.com, they usually have bundles available at fairly nice prices. Good Luck.

Thanks Lee, i never thought of these 2 websites.

i built a AMD couple mnth back went to MICROCENTER Quadcore and mobo for a $100.00 cant beat it. I also would recomend consider getting a cheap new case if your other is really old. you dnt want to run into unexpected problems with power suplly i think i paid $35 for a case with 450 psu from microcenter i know i sound like a sales men but was really please withwhat i got for the money....

Coventry ? lol

I'm from Bedford, United Kingdom. 40 Miles south of Coventry lol.

hey guys

I have spoken to my dad, he wants to spend as little as possible.

I think i'll have to look on eBay for a used bundle.

Thanks
