400.00 budget build for my daughter

[WhiteFireDragon]

wow... a $400 desktop almost as good as my new $2100 alienware laptop.. sad..

Yes, that does look like a good config.

but we all know laptops are expensive for their performance. one major think i dont like about laptops is you can't build it yourself and cant OC it. convenience and portability sorta makes up for that though
