EDIT: So I just got a call from my friend apparently he only wants one computer now, for $500-$700 so below it is edited to reflect that. Thank you in advance for any advice or input.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Tomorrow, hopefully. Target range, as cheap as possible .$500-$700
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: to make a reliable work computer to be used at the counter of a retail location. So a lot of web browsing, inventory, ringing up sales, that sorta thing.... so multi tasking is important. However he wants it to be really fast and as future proof as possible.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Operating system not needed. However monitor, keyboard, mouse WILL be needed.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com,
PARTS PREFERENCES: AMD for sure, not sure about triple or quad core though.
OVERCLOCKING: Yes, I will overclock the CPU moderateley to remain stable.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Honestly I'm not sure how big, he plays a lot of online poker too, so probably a decent widescreen 22 or 24 inch maybe. Open to suggestions.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: ATX case fine, I guess I just don't know what I should be wary of and that is why I very much appreciate your input.
You think I should up it to 4GB of ram?
====================================================================================================
My first selection when i thought it was 2, so im back to square one. Now I have to put together a $500-700 system, will edit when finished
ok so now its revised for one PC.
What do you think?
What would you do differently?
