Hi, I'm building a computer for my mom to replace her ancient computer that was made back in 2006. It's running Windows Vista with 512 mb of RAM and it is as slow as molasses in January. She needed a new computer, and instead of buying one, I convinced her to let me build one, which can be cheaper and more powerful than most desktops you can buy on the market. I'm not sure what to get her, as she does quite a bit of multi-tasking and works as a programmer. I have a build set out for her already and I need suggestions on making the build better optimized for a workstation or info on what computer she would need, not making it over-kill, but lasting her a long time. Thanks!
She has given me a budget of 1000$ including Windows.
