I have been asked by my father-in-law to price out a new PC for him. I have come up with the following list. but first the restriction, a budjet of $800, he figures he can get a comprable Dell (for what he was looking for) for around that, so my plan is to get the requirements (HD, case, PC, etc) and then get a good CPU and spend the rest on GPU's. He does alot of spreadsheet intensive work from home so it needs to be a rock solid machine with the ability for 3-4 monitors (dont want to deal with eyefinity)
so this is what I have:
Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152185
Mother Board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131402
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231277
DVD Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827135204
Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139003
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119197 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119196
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103809
GPU / Video Cards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130397 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127489
This combination puts it at about 750 to 800 depending on GPU and case choice. this is for my father-in-law, no OC will really be done, as it needs to be rock stable and any crash could be very bad. A second HDD might be in the thoughts to have a RAID 1 for some redudency for him (he has an external HDD for back up so RAID will not be used as backup....).
Let me know what you think about the components / items I have selected and if there is any thing I should look at that would be better but still in budjet.
Thanks!!!
