My parents are in dire need of a new computer... all they really need is something basic.. they have a 2.8Ghz AMD single core, 15in CRT monitor, and everything else is from 5 years ago - my mom wants something a little faster... and I've found a few package deals with monitors (pre-made) for ~500-600 dollars.. I have a hard time not selecting higher end parts for a build... can you build a complete system (that's better than buying from a manufacturer) for around 500? a cheap 20-22in lcd is ~120... I was figuring a <$50 case... but beyond that I have no clue what to aim for... was figuring a dual core AMD build to keep the price down... but wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations before I started pricing stuff out...
