ahhh, sorry. At first I read as having no money. In that case go to the local thrift store and get an old P II for $5, a monitor for another 5, and surf the net for almost nothing. Unlimited budget ? maybe spend 2 grand on a pc, and give the other 5 grand that folks would waste on stupid parts to a local charity. Stupid parts = anything SLI, very expensive network cards, stuff like that. Think of what that money could do for some one in need. Family , friend, etc.
ya 2k is more than anyone really needs to spend on a pc, unless they're graphic design pros and actually need the extra speed. for me, all i need is an e6600 conroe, 7950gt, and some good ram to be happy. okay a mobo, drives, sound card, etc. would be nice to .
