Advice For My First PC Build?
Hello all,
So I've been bouncing back and fourth whether if I should get a new GPU to replace my broken one, a better SSD, and other little purchases. However, deep down inside I know what I must do to fulfill my happiness: build a PC. My first complete build(i've made one long ago but without a case).
Please note this PC is not being built for gaming purposes only. I am heading into college in 2 months and graduate high school in a month. I want to feel at ease with this new PC for school and every day tasks. Later on if I feel a burning desire, I'll make a gaming beast out of it. Right now education is the focus and not gaming.
My current PC is a 6 year old lenovo m81 thinkcentre tower with windows 7 pro, and while she's very fast for me with my ssd, I simply want to walk in college with a new start :)
Here's the list: logo897 - Saved Part Lists - PCPartPicker
I know my CPU is not the best out there, but this is all I can spare within the next 2 months.
Other questions:
1. I have two power supplies: one corsair cx600m which is about a year and a half old, and one evga bronze 500 watt psu which I got late last year or early this year(can't remember). Which shall I put in my new future build? I hope I do not have to buy a new one.
2. Are there any problems with this new build such as too weak of a part?
My tasks involve microsoft office, researching, and watching videos for fun.
My budget is around $200 USD, but if I must go higher, it can be $250.
This is a last minute project so please bare with me.
Thank you so much for reading :)
