• Building a computer for my cousin ~$500.

So my cousin's needs a new computer cause his dead one is, well, dead; not to mention it was from 2001. I live in New York, I use Newegg, and the budget is close to or (possibly much better) less than $500. If shipping costs could be added up to this total that would be great. All he really needs it for it music management for his Zune and general browsing. The one particular this is that it needs to come with a monitor, which is why he's considering a pre-built, so if you guys could throw in a monitor (18 in is fine, not too expensive please) that would be great. Thanks for any help. Edit: I'm going to be installing Win7 on it, so no OS is needed.

Second one has a little bit more gaming power if he needs it. Otherwise, that pre-built is fine.
Thanks man. I'll anticipate a few more replies in the morning, but what you posted seems like more than enough. [editline]03:10AM[/editline] [IMG]http://filebox.me/files/amrjgy7ib_Eric_Computer_Build.png[/IMG] Awesome. Shipping's $30 extra, no big deal. Thanks again.
