    1. What is your budget? [€300]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Microsoft Office, Youtube, Web browsing]

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [No]

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? [I have an SSD already. Also an old Dell Dimension C521 but I don't know if I can use that case?]

    5. Do you need a monitor? [No]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? [1280x1024] [No]

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Card Reader/Speakers/etc.] [No]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [No]

    8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Adverts.ie cash]

    9. When are you purchasing? [asap]

    I do not want to buy another Dell since they are not upgrade-friendly (or are they?). I have a Dell Dimension C521 that can't even run Google Chrome any more, even after upgrading to an SSD. Can I just upgrade the motherboard on that Dell?

    It's important I get a slim case (horizontal, under the monitor). Preferably one that looks like an office PC and not a gaming PC?

    Any help much appreciated.
