New build suggestions

[DavidNW]

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.

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
