Hi everyone.
My friend is looking for a PC build, with case what he can transport in a backpack.
No laptops!
He need to connect 2 monitors (So at least HDMI and DVI, or 2xHDMI) and work in Excel. Nothing else.
Smaller is better
 
£16.28: ASUS DRW-24D5MT - internal 24X DVD burner (ebay: computertechnologylimited)
£24.09: CASE mars Gaming MCM, MicroATX Compact PC Box, 16 Modes ARGB, Fan 8 cm, White (amazon uk - there's another one, used, wich costs a bit less)
£26.39: RAM crucial CT8G4DFS824A (CL=17, SR, x8 based, Unbuffered, NON-ECC, DDR4-2400) - directly on uk.crucial.com
£41.99: MB asrock A320M-HDV R4.0 (ebay: *angelbaby*)
£45.88: PSU bequiet! BN245 80+ bronze 400W
£50.75: CPU amd a6-9500E - integrated GPU (ebay: kikatek - you can do an offer under £50.75; for example, £42)
OR --> £94.69: CPU amd Ryzen 3 3200G - integrated GPU (ebay: sklepbabyshop30)
£119.99: windows 10 home (from microsoft.com)
(I forgot the cd/dvd-burner/writer)

Total: £325.37 (or less) (with a6-9500E)
Total: £369.31 (or less) (with ryzen 3 3200g)


Or something like this: AMD MINI PC VC13 AMD FX-8800/SSD or HDD/8GB/Radeon R7/DVD/Win10 | eBay

That's a substantial budget. And for sure, for tasks like Excel, you don't need a lot of horsepower.

I recommend looking at xilolee's suggestions and start from there.

Of course,if it possible,he will play some WoW or smth like this
 
Yeah, well, I am not a fan of small cases for gaming.

Gaming is just about the most demanding task you can ask of any computer and that means heat becomes a major concern. Even full size towers, with their multiple large fan cooling options, have a significant challenge to remove heat when gaming. So not sure I can offer more advice here if your friend is planning to game.

This is not to say that he is "planning", but if possible, he will play.

Suggestions are welcome
