My son's HP finally crapped out and I need to get a replacement relatively fast.
I will have about $500 (USD) by the end of next month.
While I could probably salvage something from the HP, I figured that it would be better just to start from scratch. I was looking at the $400 December build, but what I want is to be able to upgrade the components later on. Will the $400 build allow me to do that?
What other options would I have. My son is 17 and uses his computer for online course instruction, WoW and the usual teenager twitter, face-book et cet. I have a Radeon 5670 card available, which should be fine for a starter, which will reduce the cost somewhat. A wash, since I will probably have to purchase an op system as the HP was given to me by a friend.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
