I'm doing this build for a friend of mine. He's got $800 to spend, but the further under that number we can come the better. The only thing I feel like I'm skimping on here is the video card, but he says it's very light gaming (probably no current-gen stuff).
The new build is because his last desktop and laptop recently crapped out on him, so quality reliable parts are also a must.
Also, his current monitor only has a VGA port, so I'd like the video card to have one. It's not a must, as I know the adapters are pretty cheap.
