Hey there, ok, so I've got a friend from work that has been having computer issues.
They have 5 year old computer, that's what they have. After getting with them and offering all sorts of advice, they want to go with the homebuilt route.
This is what I'm planning to build for them:
CPU - E6300 Dual Core 2.8ghz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116091
MOBO - Gigabyte EP43
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128380
RAM - Mushkin 4gb DDR2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146731
GPU - HIS Radeon 4670
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161252
PSU - Antec Earthwatts 500W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371007
and
Case - Centurion 5
HDD - Caviar Black 640gb
CD - Samsung 22x DVD Drive
Basically they want to do internet and e-mail, but also start getting into photoshop. They have elements at the moment, but might end up with more later, I may try to get them to use GIMP or something.
Suffice to say, they'll probably end up with Windows 7 and whatnot. Does this look like an ok system to set someone up with? I tried to keep the price conservative for them, but still outfit them with a nice machine that won't be slow. They like to have a lot open at once and a 5 year old machine just won't cut it for them anymore.
Any thoughts?
Also, what would be a fair flat rate to charge to assemble a computer? They want to pay for it...
