but if im am willing to build 1
what kinda components would you recommend
within my price range??
are the i3s anygood?

i have a old WinXP CD key i dont use which could be used on the PC
and also have a old LCD for her

thanks again guys

If she's a student at a valid institution then Software4Students can find the tools at a real cheap price.

And you can set OpenOffice (LibreOffice) to default to Office formats which is likely to be fine for MOST users. (Nice article in new Linux Format magazine).

with these on board graphics are they anygood??
will she have any problems streaming vids from websites?

well i could use a Win7 CD-key i have used
was pre-order so was cheap

they will be fine for everything except playing hi graphics games. They will play stuff like Sims 3 and stuff like that fine
