My older brother is moving and needs a hand on computer parts. He can put a computer together from scratch (he knows how to put one together), but on parts along with their compatibility and how good they are, he and I aren't so sure.
So, we asked my oldest brother who is a pretty big computer guru of sorts. He sent my brother an e-mail with a recommended list. Now, he wants to keep this semi-cheap. He wants a computer that is versatile and powerful enough to run WoW (he's addicted lolz). Anyhow, here's the list. Any suggestions, then fire away: (particularly on the monitor. He isn't too particular. Wants a cheap one that still looks okay. Don't think he wants a bigass plasma flatscreen =p)
