I'm a paranoid person so I'd personally stick with a 600w PSU but honestly 450w is plenty for what you're proposing. Unless you plan to have a lot of addons for this comp? Will you be using TV tuner, additional HDD etc with it?

500gb HDD actually runs out fairly quick... I'd recommend using at least 1TB hdd. (or better yet a small 64gb SSD with a 2TB HDD for storage).

Cheers.

That SSD will cost him too much and won't be useful for their needs.


Exactly what i was thinking. I was considering one for my PS3 until i saw the price tag

I was considering one for my laptop... then quickly reconsidered, ha.

What are they? $3/GB?

I'm too much of a fanboy tbh :P But yea, I was thinking of using it for the OS and getting a 2TB for HDD for storage. It won't cost you too much money... around an extra $120 USD for a 50-60GB SSD.. then adding another $100 USB for a 2TB HDD and it's essentially future proof. Again I think like a gamer, so even when I'm asked to get a casual PC, I usually think about future gaming potential xD

But yea, it would be nice to also tell us your budget. Will you also be buying monitor / speaker / mouse / keyboard etc.
