APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Next 2-4 weeks
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Web Browsing, Photo Editing, HD Video (ie Netflix stream), general multimedia use
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com, tigerdirect, amazon
PARTS PREFERENCES: none, looking for bang for buck here
OVERCLOCKING: maybe some modest OC, not required
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080 21.5 dell lcd
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This is a build for my wife, she normally just does things listed above. Web browsing, photo editing and streaming movies accounts for 95% of its use. Will possibly hook to LCD TV for streaming in the future. Not sure if I should use integrated graphics or something cheap like a 4650. Will probably upgrade the card down the road. Overdue for a new build for myself and am trying to not "overbuild" this one for no reason. Budget is flexible if someone can suggest something much better for minimal dollar increase. Really want to keep it under 800 though... After that a i5 750 just makes more sense.
Took a screen shot because of combo deals.
