Building new computer for my girlfriend.

[Nanekud]

Hey people. Like it says in the thread title, I'm building a new desktop for my lady.

She's a gamer, so that is what it shall be based around.

Parts I prefer are: Intel, GeForce

I just seem to get more quality out of these than AMD products.


We don't play any hardcore graphic FPS or anything, just some chill MMORPGs, so don't need AWESOME POWAH.


I'll set the budget at $700 for now, may raise or lower a bit.


This price does not include a monitor or OS.

Will not be overclocking.

Thank you in advance for your time and expertise. 😀

Just want to add -- If anyone knows of a nice pink/purple case for it; I'm sure she would really enjoy to see some.

Does anyone post on this forum anymore? What's going on...?

I don't know of any pink cases except for maybe the NZXT Phantom 410 but that will set you back a good $100: http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/crafted_series/phantom_410

I'm not sure if the pink version is made anymore.

But for $700 maybe try this:
