^^ nice ^^

Dunno about the samsung screen, it might be better than other brands but just buy a cheap one. Once you adapt to a screen you're completely unaware of any quality deficiancy.

I'd recommend he checks prebuilt computers first, might pay marginally more, but I've had so many problems that are completely unfathomable and seemingly unsolvable. A year on and I still couldn't get my brothers computer to work properly; it would be stunning for hours, then lock up for 5 minutes for no reason, then be fine, then a bit slower, then programs would become corrupted etc... Reinstalled windows numerous times, all the drivers were spot on, go figure.

Take the risk if you want, but when you've been trusted with $1200 of someones hard earned cash it feels really really awful when you can't get it working properly
