Hello, my cousin fell in love with my new gaming system, and asked me to build her a new system. My problem is an odd one though, everything I have ever built I wanted the biggest, the baddest, and the best! This is not what she needs (or can afford). I want to build her the best computer for her money, but make goldilock's porridge just right, So I figured I would turn to the pro's at Toms (BTW the ultimate gamig system you guys helped me build a couple of months ago is incredible SSD's rock). A little about my cousin, she is a stay at home mom, who spends a lot of time on facebook and surfing the net. She does a lot of video editing from her digital video camera, Loves her music, burning CD's and likes to play games like the Sims, and Roller coaster tycoon. Heaviest thing she might play is WOW.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Odd request from my cousin, She does not want neons or lots of "bling" because she does not want her toddler to be attracted to it. It does need to "look nice" and fairly quiet as it sits in the living room. Oh and she wants to keep running windows XP.
Thank You in advance for your advice, I really want her to say WOW this system is awesome I can't believe you built it for under $800.00 (anything over $700.00 I will be donating).
