[Build Ready] A6-3650, ASRock A75M, 4GB Budget Build
Making this build for a friends dad, he wanted to keep it around the $400 mark so this is what I came up with.
Ideally I would have put in a discrete graphics card but due to price It's excluded, and I've heard decent things about AMD APU's anyway.
He's mainly going to use it for internet browsing and video watching, so I figure this would work well. Do you think it will be able to playback 1080p smoothly though? Any other thoughts?
Price comes to $432 CAD including tax at NCIX. Also note that the PSU is included with the case (It's really a CM Elite 432) but there was no option for that on PC Part Picker
