My mom wants to get my dad a computer for christmas so she asked me to put together a parts list for her. She is contemplating between what I put together and just getting a rig from best buy. The budget is $899 so I picked out

cpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811112025
ram (two of these) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820231166
os http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16832116493
hdd http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16822136073
mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813131340
gpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814102770
psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817182072
All other parts will be recycled from a previous build. Will be primarily used for RTS games. 1280x1024 is highest res that will be used. Do you think she should buy a cheaper best buy computer and just put in a new gpu or go with my list?
