Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't find where it should go.
Anyway, this build is for a friend. She is a Dell/iMac person, and not a power user. I am trying to interest her in custom building, and she is willing. But is this a good price for this build? I know I have seen some Dell/Best Buy budget systems for less, but I would guess they are using cheaper parts. I wouldn't feel comfortable unless I felt sure she'd get plenty of great use from this for a long time. Would this system better for her than those?
I am hoping the performance/quality/longevity will be enough to win her over.
Any suggestions?
