I dont think that one comes with a monitor. I would go with a prebuilt one for low end computers.

 

[dirrocte]

can u suggest parts than.. lol i dont really know which will be good... under 500 as low as can be lol

 

[Ku-sama]

i have a computer for much cheaper...

 

[dirrocte]

so i can get cheaper than that? im trying to help my sister out shes going to college and already in major debt so ya lol

 

[Ku-sama]

i can sell you a whole computer for $500... it will be decent...

 

[dirrocte]

well i already have a monitor she could use.

If you already have a monitor then I suggest you get this http://www.computerforum.com/56979-custom-build-cs-1-6-any-ideas.html

 

[dirrocte]

that seems great.. and you are sure it will suit the basic needs without sucking to much? lol and it isnt to hard to build a pc?

 

[Ku-sama]
