Build for my dad

Looks good. I did something similar for my mom. May I suggest going to TigerDirect.com and looking under bare bone systems. You may find a cheaper price for a very similar build. I got my mom an i3 bare bones for just over $300 after rebates. That didn't include Windows but it's worth a look and I was real happy with the hardware.Nauticas

That's what I got for my mom. Not as many rebates currently.Nauticas

The parts are in and he is coming over to watch me assemble it in a little while. The day after I ordered it the CPU went on sale with one of those personal email codes, I called them and they gave me the $15.00 credit.[img]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4373/35734799443_53cb20ef13_z.jpg[/img]

BTW, Duke, good on you for having dad over to watch the build. My brother asked me to build a machine for him, and I told him no. But I did say I would help him build his own. He had always been intimidated by computers, but now he can swap out cards, diagnose problems, upgrade, etc.
What's the old story about giving a man a fish?
