    @AddRAM,

    1. Would W7 Pro 32 bit OEM DVD key work on W10 Pro 64 bit.........I don't think...your views?

    2. Which version of MS Off 2016, would you recommend, since I mostly use MS Word?

    3. As to UPS, am using APC 650, is good, gives me a 1 hour of backup on my old PC, would upgrading to 750 be fine, since requires 3 hrs for a full recharge vs. 8 hrs for 650?

    4. My PC tech pro recommended me to get a Dell Optilpex 3050, since am not into gaming with a few mods, like changing the drives, increasing RAM to 16, etc. His views are am wasting money since am not into gaming....his thoughts are this is a great machine but for gamers mainly?

    Hoping to hear from you...

    Thanks again!







    EDIT:

    I might plan getting a 2 desktops, the one you recommended and a Optiplex till that gets built...

    Yes a key can work for 32 or 64 bit, that doesn`t matter.

    I don`t bother with Microsoft Office, just get what you need.

    And as far as the parts you listed, hey, if you can afford them then build it.

    I would never ever recommend a Dell to anyone.

    Dells are not bad, but it's better if it's custom built.

    If it`s just for office work than just get what you can afford and want to spend.

    For example, you don`t need to get a dedicated video card if the CPU graphics will be good enough for what you need it to do.

    You could also get a cheaper Power Supply, and just 8GB of memory.

    The monitor you picked out will be expensive too, if you can get by with a 1920 x 1080 monitor than just get one of them.

    It`s all about how much you want to spend

    Thanks AddRAM for posting your expert suggestions.

    1. Fine. I'll leave the video card for now, if I ever feel the need would have the option on the board.

    2. Care to post a link for a PSU?

    3. Is crucial ballistic better than corsair vengeance? OR what would be your pick?

    4. Regarding monitor, I'd want a crispy display.....is FHD enough......I was thinking of getting a QWD/2K. Occasionally I do watch a movie or add my Android device to it. Care to post some links.

    Money isn't a issue want a custom built that would last a while.......

    Thanks again

    For the next custom build I'd transfer you the funds and ship it to HI..

    Another question is core i5 9400F 8/9th gen good enough or should get i7 8/9th?

    Thanks again.
