Building a small ~300$ PC as a little gift for my grandmother being so awesome. She just surfs the web, watches videos and looks at pictures. Only requirement is that it runs XP. She does pretty well for her age on computers, but the change to Win 7 is just a bit too much for her.
Proposed Specs:
Intel G530
4 GB of G.Skill Memory (2x2)
WD Caviar Blue 250GB SATA II
BIOSTAR H61MGC
LG 22x DVD Burner
IN WIN BK644.BN300TBL - Comes with 300w PSU
Will all this play nice with XP? I am fairly certain it will. My only concern is about the integrated video working correctly.
Also, the only component I could salvage from the old PC is the PSU, it's just a little Hipro PSU that came with the a dell. It has run for 7 years in her very dusty home. I would like to maybe buy a dirt cheap pc case and re use the PSU (maybe upgrade to the G620 with the savings). Should I take the gamble?
