Hey guys,
My wife has asked me to build a new computer for her. I've love some feedback on the appropriateness of this build.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: (Tuesday 9/15) BUDGET RANGE: (About $1000)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: (Word + PowerPoint, web searching, World of Warcraft, RTS Games)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: OS, Mouse, Keyboard - We'll use windows 7 (32 bit)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (Newegg was great to me with my first build and I'd like to continue to work with them unless there is great reason not to.)
PARTS PREFERENCES: (I'm willing to pay a little more for a part if it means better reliability or support.)
OVERCLOCKING: No SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe, we're more likely to upgrade to an entirely new card when this proves necessary.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: The monitor we selected is 1680x1050
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: (She needs a speedy/reliable system that will last her a few years with a minimal yearly investment in upgrades)
