Hello friends,
I'm a first time novice looking to build a system for my sister on a budget. Below I have a list from newegg containing the components I've selected. I was hoping someone might shed some light on how this system looks as a whole, and whether or not these components compliment each other.
My sister does not really have any high-end gaming demands, just somethin solid, functional, and affordable. Cost saving substitutions would be particularly appreciated. I just want to keep it above the pre-packaged, entry to mid-level "Dell" if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
John
