The parts
I decided to go with an Intel-based build for this customer. AMD just doesn't compete anymore when it comes to performance for the price. The goal of this build was a stable, reliable computer with good components and decent performance, but with a price tag that won't break the bank. Solidly middle-of-the-road. Not a stripped-down cheap piece of junk, but not a gaming machine either.
Cooler Master CMP-350 case with 500W power supply. Asus H87-PRO LGA1150 motherboard. Western Digital WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200rpm hard drive. Asus DVD-RW drive. Windows 7 Home Premium. Intel Pentium G3220 CPU. 8GB Kingston HyperX blu RAM. Logitech MK120 keyboard and mouse combo.
