    Think of doing this build for a friend. She's not into gaming, but likes surfing the Net & doing video work. Any suggestions would be welcome & is it a value for money rig?

    I have told her she might be able to get these specs on a ready made system for the price it would cost for me to buy the components a do the build. but I'm not really sure.

    Thanks,

    David.

    HDD: HD082GJ SAMSUNG 80GB 7200rpm 8MB cache SATA2 (More speed)

    LCD - i would take a closer look at something like Samsung. Viewsonic never seemed to be very reliable manufacturer for me... But who knows :)
    If your friend doesn't mind wide screen, I suggest
    SAMSUNG LCD 205BW 20 " WIDE 6ms 700:1
