OK, I am doing another system for:
A high school kid going into college. The computer will be used for typical college stuff....music, some gaming, and possible a little school work (majoring in Forestry, not CS, Graphics, or Video). For space constraints, he wants the LCD (despite the cost). Anyway, please look it over and let me know if there are any known configuration issues or better parts available. The system (from Newegg) is as follows:
