My sister wants a screaming fast computer, but doesn't want to spend over $1000.... She will need everything. The tower, monitor, speakers, and keyboard/mouse.
I really think it is possible to get her an i7 build that is in her price range...
She will be doing normal computer tasks, but I want her to have a computer that last a long time. The 9800gtx+ is so she can play the Sims 3 with no lag... That is why she wants the computer, but I think it will be good for her to have an i7 computer because if she can get it, why not...
This is what I have came up with....

The problem is that she has her budget and she is sticking with it. I really want her to have an I7 without losing the gpu... I only need to shave about $30 the I7 build....
