My mother needs a new computer for her home office. She wants a new monitor too. Here is what I have pick out for her. She doesn't use many intensive programs, but she does keep 10+ application open at a time. The budget is around $800, no more than $850. I am trying to pull ot an i5, ITX motherboard, and SSD. Right now, I think she will have to settle with a smaller ssd, and use it as cache. I am open to compete alternate systems if the price is right.
