A computer for my brother

[Computernewbie]

Thanks for your advice and suggestions. In fact, it would mostly be an everyday use computer, and he doesn't really play games on the computer, maybe except mmorpg's once in a while. He has a ps3 for games, lol.

So I just want to build him an inexpensive but good pc, and for about 500$ INCLUDING the operating systeme and the monitor... It might be impossible, but hey, I won't know if I don't try.

Please tell me if you have other tips or advice!

Hi guys,

finally, my brother told me that his budget for his pc was about 800$ (I'm quite surprised) and I showd him this one, that's already assembled from newegg.ca:

I highly doubt I can do better for the same price.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance,

MUCH better build. It has quality parts, a faster GPU, faster RAM (but less), quality PSU and a really nice case. You could even swap the case for a different or cheaper one.

Thanks man, it IS a very nice build, but a bit over budget, if I include a screen, OS, shipping and taxes.

But still, I might take some components you suggested. The case looks AWESOME, you have good taste! However, it's waaaaaay too expensive for me, hahaha.

Thanks man,

Same deal for me, I want one, but I need to somewhere procure $209 + $71 shipping... yep that's just about the cheapest it can be found here in Aus... AKA ripoff land

EDIT: Corsair's Carbide 400R and 500R cases are set to be released this month or next month, they are about $99 RRP and they have really good looks and internals.
