General Build for Non-gaming friend.

[crazyfoo88]

Friend asked me to build her a sub $1000 computer mainly for science programs she has to run. Here is what I am thinking of doing. Looked at AMD but decided to stick with an intel build. Let me know what you think! There is no need for a GPU as she does not game.

ASUS P8Z68-V LX Z68 LGA1155 ATX 2PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 DDR3 SATA3 USB3.0 Audio Video CrossFire Motherboard

does she plan to overclock? cause you could drop to a non-k 2500 or a 2400, and get an h61 or h67 mobo
