Or more precisely, my brother is. I'm hesitant to build him a custom pc as 1) I'm only going to be home for about a week (and not till august) and 2) playing the role of long distance tech support kinda sucks so I'm thinking it would be best if I just recommend him a prebuilt one from a major retailer. He is willing to drop $2k+ (including monitor, speakers, kb/mouse) but I'm thinking he really doesn't need to go that high. He will be using it for college work and some gaming. I can also get a 10% employee discount either through amazon or hp. Both of us are students so student discounts apply as well.
Here is something I quickly spec'ed up at hp
total: $1253 + tax
Is this roughly in the ballpark for price/performance I should expect from prebuilt? I guess I could also prowl slickdeals for dell sales.
