Please don't leave that config hanging... took me quite a while to get up the parts

I think that's a derned good config for under $1000... I'll add in Windows Home.

EDIT: This is Home for $93. Are you willing to add $100 to your budget?

I picked out this Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811208008
This OS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16832102357
And I have no idea on a monitor.

 

[G9]

I'll answer your monitor question after I've established what you want for your speakers.

 

[Robbie2006]

I have no prefrences on speakers either.

 

[G9]

Is it okay if we get you a monitor with integrated speakers?

 

[Robbie2006]

I actually could probably get by with the ones I have. They are cambridge soundworks and it has a nice sub.

 

[G9]

Okay, so we just need to get you a monitor and we're all set?
