Hello everyone. I've spent the past few days reading posts on this forum, trying to figure out what to get to replace my ancient 6 year old PC. I think I've got a decent idea on what to get, after considering my needs and budget. Basically, I don't need a lot of power - just want something that feels quick and responsive for my regular use (browsing and MS Office mostly).
If anyone has any ideas/suggestions on my tentative config, or if there are any compatibility issues between the components I've chosen, I'd really appreciate any advice.
