Well, he's not a gamer. Which is tough because that's like the only machine I know how to build for him hehe.

his words for what he wants in his pc "music burning, dvd burning/playing, virus protection just tons of memory so it is not slow" haha, I was like....ok what's your limit? he said his limit is around 1000.00

he says he would like a new lcd monitor too.


need help with a build for a guy who basically is not a gamer but is more media oriented...I figured intel core 2 duo....etc

thanks!
