Hello all,
I am trying to build a rig for my parents for xmas. I don't want to go to cheap but I would like to keep it under $400.00.
It will mostly be used for web browsing, aol, minor(very minor) photoshoping etc...
It needs to be upgradeable to vista.
So far I have decided on this:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6750 - Retail
It seems for the price it wouldn't make sense to save a bit and go w/ the slower model.
I am mainly looking for a suggestion on a mobo, hopefully w/ a decent built in sound and video card since they won't be doing any gaming.
I also need some memory and PSU suggestions.
I haven't done my last build since May, funny how fast things/prices change....
