Looking to build 2 computers for my kids


Recommended Posts

Hey folks. I have 2 extra monitors and instead of throwing them away, I'm going to build 2 budget PC's for my kids to do homework. I want them as CHEAP as possible. Looking to spend about $200-$300 and that includes everything besides a monitor and case. I have those. Might not even have an optical drive. My budget is very flexible so if it goes over $300 I'm not gonna hate you guys. Thanks a bunch. Ask anything you need to.

Probably cheaper to buy a prebuilt one.

 

Dell Outlet has Alienware Alpha Desktop for $319

 

Processor: Intel Core 4th Generation i3-4130T Processor (Dual Core, 3M Cache, 2.9 GHz,35W)

Windows 10 Home 64bit English

500 GB SATA Hard Drive (5400 RPM)

4GB DDR3L at 1600MHz

NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPU 2GB GDDR5

It's per computer. And I'm gonna check that out but my fiance talked me into one computer for them and already found a source for parts. $306 total lol. Here is the link for anyone interested. This is why I'm marrying her.

I hope it's only one of the reasons lol.

 

"So, why'd you guys get married?"
"Well she found me a good deal online one time."

"Anything else?"

"Nope. It was a really good deal."

Never saw that before.. Nice find, BudMan!

Other than whats already been suggested, I'd also consider a laptop/notebook. Having that portability will also be a great thing and they can still use the monitors as a second screen which could be a massive boost.

This made me laugh to no end lol.

 

Thanks for the feedback folks. This is why this is one of the best places on the internet.
