    Christmas Build for Grandparents

    My mother has "asked" (told) me to do some research for a new computer/Christmas present for my Grandparents. They are running an old store-bought PC from 9 years ago. Rather than go for a pre-built system from Dell or a tech store I would rather build one for them as I will have much better...

    New Build (first in 9 years) - $800-$900 - please [H]elp
