Hi All,
I'm building a computer for my fiance and we need to keep it in the $600 range. Pretty much whatever we go with will be an upgrade but we want to get the best deal we can so if I've missed anything or if there's any not too expensive upgrades I've missed any input will be appreciated.
Here's what I have so far, mostly taken from other suggestions I've seen on the boards here. We're not looking to overclock and will be used mostly for games (wow) and web browsing, no monitor needed.
