Total is ~$510 w/shipping, which is $10 over budget, but I'm sure I can talk my friend (one who is paying for it) into paying the extra $10. Keyboard, mouse, monitor and OS isn't needed.
Is there anything that I might consider or change in this system? Remember I only have $500 budget with shipping included.
Thanks in advance for any input.
