Friend needs an all-around rig.

Hi again, OCN,

my friend is getting tired of his mac, and he's considering building a new, windows-running rig. His budget is $800-1300, and he needs the essentials of the rig plus a mouse, keyboard, operating system, and monitor. He will use it for gaming, video editing, school work, and other general stuff. He says he doesn't need more than 300GB of hard drive space, since he's got an external hard drive to use for storing bigger files and such.

Make a newegg cart and list any prebuilt rigs as an alternative. He's a bit uncomfortable about it as he's concerned he might destroy something.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: nvm about the operating system, he has it.
