Hey, im building a computer for a friend this christmas (his money of course :)) and this will be used primary for office use. Chances are that no games will ever be installed on his computer, so remember stictly office work.
Please let me know what components would suit me best for this, heres the manufacturers i would like to stick to:

Asus
Intel
Cosair or OCZ
Nvidia or ATI
Vantec
Western Digital
Logitech
Sony

Thanks
 
If it's for office work, I doubt the video card will matter all too much. Doesn't matter if it's Nvidia or ATi, it is your preference. If no games are to be played, just get a cheap Radeon 9200 or Nvidia Ti.
 
That should already be automatically assumed. No higher than a 9600xt or fx5500. Unless under $100
 
Yea, and for a Superofficeman you should get a Pentium D 820 or 830. 1 gig of RAM would be sufficent for a SUPER office PC, and a very low end graphics card. At newegg I found a REALLY cheap 320 gb drive for like 130 bucks, but I can't link it to you now beacuse this computer only supports one IE window :mad:.

You would probably be going for less than 50$ beacuse the ATi X700 and X1300 are less than 100$ and they would be SUPER overkill for this PC.

ops, i forgot to mention his budget is 1500-2000 CAD. So we can go up to socket 995, along with PCIe, and 1 gig of ram.
 
That is true, intel does only have socket 775. My mistake i misread the series number 955.
