Reputation: 0  Rep Power: 0 | I believe you could probably make a better specced comp with 800usd including shipping from newegg.. I'm a bit busy atm but I'll attempt to do something to see if I'm right or not by this evening.. however if you're trying to make it as cheap as possible.. those sound pretty nice.. you just have to remember children grow up, and computers do not.. One day they'll want to play hl3 and upgrading a slightly up to date computer is cheaper than buying a new one over a super outdated one.

Reputation: 180 Rep Power: 4 | it's 800MYR (malaysia currency, x3.7 i think to make out the price in USD o_o") ..For a small kid though..age should b around 8-10 o_o But then..i think it's a small girl so i don't think it requires higher specifications..although stuff can be upgraded later on =D

Reputation: 180 Rep Power: 4 | Woah, thats a little over budget IMO..Lol,I don't really trust small kids with lcd  Well, it around 245USD for the whole rig. Possible? SO basically, i don't think it requires till E7200 but thanks for the opinion.Hmm, so it's like AMD or intel..

Reputation: 111 Rep Power: 3 | best thing is with built in gpu for now until he/she decide to upgrade pc and you can put any low/mid range card to work in crossfire because of built in grafics and new ati tech. i make those kind of pc all the time (not with cross) people just wanna use it and kids wanna just play a little bit on them so it is cheap but normal ones
