    Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've been on here, but my girlfriend's mom is in need of a $400-500 computer, and I want to build her a good one that'll last a bit. I've put together this list. I already have an ata dvd drive, so I don't need that. If you guys have any suggestions, please feel free to tell me.

    The case comes with a fan, as does the stock heatsink.

    It's my girlfriend's mom; I'm thinking integrated video will be adequate, or...?

    Unless she's a super-mom, it should do without a powerful GPU and Fan.

    Her picture collection rivals NASA and her recipes use a special font called Eras or Seconds or something like that. Should I be worried?
