thanks mg, im gonna go with that hanns, since it had the most reviews and they were good ones too.
im gonna go with a 250gb seagate hdd cos i doubt she needs more than that.
the ram im not sure, i think i selected the a datat too but it was a little diff.
ill get her an e8400 instead cos i can get it from microcenter for about the same price as the e6750.
the antec earthwatts psu is on sale so ill be getting that for her.
i might the her the centurion cases or just the cm 690(same one as mine) if i have more in the budget.

her budget is a $1000, but i dont wanna spend too much if it isnt needed, and plus if i save her money she would really appreciate it.
thanks mg.
ill be buying alll this soon, infact im getting $300 from her tomorrow, so ill be getting about 3-4 items.
ill post back.

if she doesn't game, then she really only needs it to view the monitor...i say the cheaper the better.

well my gf wants one to view movies and maybe play some light games.

the manager just wa nts to view pictures and do her work on it, maybe movies im guessing but i doubt it.

i guess i could get the x1650 pro for my gf, but what do you suggest for my manager.

 

[mgcook]

a x1950pro would be an alright gfx card.

im confused now??? you just said earlier that the 1650pro isnt needed, so why should i get the x1950?!?!
