Approximate Purchase Date: Immediately
Budget Range: I'd like the midpoint to be around $500.00 but can go more for reasonable improvements.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Minor video editing (Flip video etc), MS Office 2010, web surfing and email
Parts Not Required: KB/M, Monitor, Speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg / Amazon Prime
Country of Origin: United States
Parts Preferences: I would prefer to use Intel/Nvidia if possible. All other parts up for grabs.
Overclocking: No.
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Additional Comments: Needs to be smaller to fit into PC desk (Micro ATX should do the trick I believe), needs to be fast with MS Office tasks and minor (I mean very minor) video editing for work related therapy sessions.
Here is what I threw together. Any improvements or cutting of the fat is much appreciated as I'm trying to spend the money where it's truly important. Couldn't decide on a video card for this sort of a machine, so any decision on that front would be better than where I am.
