Approximate Purchase Date: February 2014

Budget Range: $600-$700

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Snappiness, General use, Picture Storage, Printing etc.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes (Not included in budget)



Parts to Upgrade: New system! OS and everything!

Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Windows 7 Home Premium)

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, Newegg.

Location: Palos Park, IL. US.

Parts Preferences: Not really, SSD for the OS would be nice.

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080p or 1600x900p

Additional Comments: Form factor isn't much of an issue, as long as it's not TOO big or small to work with. She's also coming from a laptop with an i5 so I don't want her to feel like the computer is slow.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Building for my Aunt, her laptop is nearly broke and she needs a new computer. Going Desktop this time.

How does this look? I'm guessing you don't need a video card?
