ok I have a hard problem I have been trying to work through. I am working on parting out a system for a friend. The budget is about $700 for everything. Including monitor. The system is for a dorm room so small on everything is good. It will function mostly as a school machine and for music, no real gaming. I need a few sugestions to get the most out of my money. Thanks
im really good at this sort of thing, configuring system for the best quality/performance/affordability ratio. PM me sometime and we can talk.
The buyer already has a laptop and doesn't want to reaplace it. I have had horrible experiences with Dells desktops and will never go back. Thanks for the suggestions though.
