Approximate Purchase Date: This will more than likely be a Christmas gift, but this is just to get a better idea so that I can be on the lookout for sales
Budget Range: 1000 tops
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Internet, word processing, file storage, no games
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, tigerdirect.com
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: I like Gigabytes mobo's, but I am pretty impartial
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: This is going to be a new build for my dad. He mostly surfs the net and does word processing. He also has quite a bit of music and other media, so I want to get him some adequate storage. I want to set him up to be able to do some file sharing on their home network, possible also get him something to stream media to his television (WD streaming box or similar).
24-27" monitor at 1080p. Should have dvi and HDMI so he could possibly also use it as an HDTV.
I know this is a pretty basic build and he might be better served getting one from best buy or something, but hes never had a nice desktop, so I want it to be nice and fast for him and remain to be a fast computer in the years to come.
Windows 7 64 Pro should be included.
He would also like a decent printer, probably best to just get an all-in-one.
