Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP - Preferably before Christmas
Budget Range: $500-700 ($600-ish being where I'd like to end)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Picture/Video Editing, Web Surfing/E-mail, light gaming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: Only real preference on parts is Gigabyte or ASUS for the Mobo
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, but not a deciding factor
Additional Comments: I'm actually putting together a build for my father, who has been trying to find a prebuilt desktop (had been looking at Dells, but to no avail) for a few months. I have built a few of my own PCs, but am finding it hard to adjust to his budget and usage. Was hoping to find a nice mix and would like find a high-value PC that's not skewed towards gaming. Also, he'd like a more professional looking build, so something like the Antec 300 cases would be preferred to anything with a few hundred neon lights and overstated plastic.
I am stuck in a pattern of starting a reasonable build and deciding to upgrade here and there, ending up with a build for gaming (and an extra $200-300 of where we would like to be) and am hoping we can find the right mix of CPU/GPU/etc. Ultimately would like the best bang-for-buck build at the $600 price range for an overall unit.
Thanks in advance for any and all input!
