A friend of mine intends to build a desktop PC to use as a replacement to his iPad (he doesn't have a laptop and has an old desktop PC).
He has a budget of "$600+", saying that's where he'd start off with, and intends to only use the system for school/uni assignments, Internet browsing and 1080p media playback and streaming as well as being able to multitask.
His OS of preference is Windows 8, and he said that he may expand upon the $600 budget. He lives in Australia so the places to fins components would be different - the site to find the best component prices for Australia is http://www.staticice.com.au/
