Case: Silvestone Percision PS09B
Motherbaord: GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3H
PSU: EVGA 500W
HDD: Western Digital 500 GB
CPU: AMD A10 7850K
Monitor: Asus 19.5 in 1600x900
CPU Cooler: Silverstone Argon
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1600 (Cheapest DDR3 1600 with a heatsink)
DVD Burner too.
The people using it wont be doing any heavy gaming but I want it to last at least 4 years (meaning it can still do general office stuff 4 years from today), also it needs to be in a small black case. According to Newegg the total for these is $687. Don't worry about the OS, I got an extra windows 7 64 bit CD I bought but never used.
I was also considering a laptop, the Asus X550LB might also do the job for them but they really wont be using it for it's portability, though I guess once in a blue moon it could get used for that. One of my concerns here is how does the GT 740m compare the the Radeon R7?
