Hey guys! My mother's computer is getting pretty aged at this point, and she has set me up with a $1000 budget. The PC just needs to do the basics, though this budget should include a monitor and All-In-One printer/fax along with, so that will most likely eat up a small chunk of the budget. With Black Friday deals starting, this is the perfect time to get some good deals for some decent parts. Without further ado, here is the Q&A!
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Black Friday week!
Budget Range: $1000 (before rebates is fine)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Web surfing, media, basic use.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, 27" preferred please!
Parts to Upgrade: All
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg (I Prefer Newegg, but am open to other options. Biggest thing is that I am able to purchase all from one site, and that I can finance and pay monthly. I also have Paypal credit, so I believe anything over $xxx will allow me 6+ months of no interest).
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Des Moines, IA, USA
Parts Preferences: Must include a SSD! Her current HDD is, I believe, 300-350GB, and they are currently only utilizing ~55GB. I would suggest a 250GB SSD, though if a bigger capacity drive is available during Black Friday week, I would not mind the upgrade.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1080 is fine, 1440 only if super good deal.
Additional Comments: Will also need an All-In-One Printer/Faxer. Current one they own is Dell V715W, but is pretty old.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Because my mother's PC is very old and slow!
