Hi Guys,
I need advice for a new build after my Dad's PC died unexpectedly yesterday. He wants a new rig ASAP and I agreed to build one for him. I have one week to do this: Purchase parts and build!
Functionally the most intensive thing he uses it for is video editing for home videos. With that in mind could you please make some suggestions for a XP prof based PC. The budget $400-500. I dont want to OC this machine as I wont be able to run stability tests or trobleshoot.
I would like to buy from newegg since shipping to my door is usually 2 days (I am in NY).
Here's what I need:
Case
PSU
MOBO
CPU+/-fan or HS
RAM
VGA
HDD
Please tell me if I am being realistic in this endeavour or is this too little $$ or time to achieve it in...
Also please make recommendations for any/all parts
Thanks much!
