[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1717506, member: 9374"] [url]https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=26128288[/url] See if this works for you. I put together some stuff, around $815 before shipping. Some of the components are good budget brands, some, like the PSU, are much higher quality items. It's an i5 2500k processor, which is MORE than enough for what you are planning, and will be quite enough for several years. It also has integrated graphics, so unless you're planning on gaming, it'll be fine for your purposes, as well. It'll run 1920x1080 on the included 22" LED monitor, and includes a 64-bit copy of Windows Home Premium. The hard drive is a refurb'd Western Digital 750 gig unit, probably will be just fine, but you're in a bad spot right now for hard drives... a flood in Thailand or Malaysia or something wiped out some production and prices skyrocketed a couple of months ago. It'll go back down this year sometime, but will be a while. Manufacturers have not had any shortages due to demand, but still are capitalizing on decreased production reports to increase prices. Any questions, I'm happy to help. If you absolutely wanted to include a video card, that could easily be done within your budget, but I really don't think it's a necessity, and there's always room to add one later, should you decide to do so.
