Hello there, looking to build a computer for my mom who doesn't really game too hardcore, so looking for some advice.

Approximate Purchase Date: Within the week

Budget Range: $500-550 Total (Don't care about rebates, prob won't use them)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (World of Warcraft, about all)

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg

Location: USA (No good stores nearby)

Parts Preferences: Whatever works

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: If it somehow fits the budget (but unlikely lol)

Your Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024

Additional Comments: So as you can see, she plays on a pretty low resolution, so I figure this budget might be totally possible for something that can run OK ish. Thanks for looking!
