Wow, according to this, grandma needs help ordering for parts. Here's what she ordered:
[flash=480,325]http://www.youtube.com/v/4GTqP0tCrhk[/flash]
■Q9550
■16GB DDR2
■2 1TB 7200rpm HDDs
■GeForce "900 GT"
■Striker II" mobo
■Wireless mouse and keyboard
■2 24" displays
Seller quoted her for around $3,905 (!). Did the company behind the ad really do their research? Those specs are simply too much for someone supposedly wanting to play Diablo 3. Do you think this setup's better? (Newegg.com prices)
■i7 920 - $280
■CORSAIR XMS3 3GB (3 x 1GB) - $77
■1TB WD Caviar Black - $95
■MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv3 - $180
■GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R - $189
■ASUS VW246H Black 24" - $220
■SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R SH-S222A - $30
■CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W - $80
I don't think Grandma would want to overclock, so I'm settling for a 550W PSU. Total is $1,151. Whatcha think?
