I normally don't ask for help, but I am pressed for time (i.e. I have none). My mother is looking to buy some parts to build a new PC and I wanted to see what other people thought before I went this route. Here is what I am looking at:
Abit KN8 (Socket 939)
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1 Gb PC3200 RAM (Crucial probably)
ATI R8500LE-B3 RADEON 8500 64MB DDR AGP
300 Gb SATA by Maxtor
Cheap ATX Case
She already has a CD/DVD, scanner, monitor, keyboard/mouse, and burner. Does this sound like a decent system for Windows XP? She will be doing email, basic/intermediate Photoshop, Word, very little gaming (my father does like Links or something). I think this is sound and I can get the parts for like $600 or so shipped. Thanks for any input.
