Well you guys have always come through for me on past builds. My sister is wanting me to build her a very basic desktop from which to do work at home. Nothing particularly graphics/otherwise intensive. The only real requirement is the ability to run a dual monitor setup. The two monitors are not included in the $500 budget, but on that note, if there are any recommendations for cost effective monitors, that would be appreciated.
*note: I do not mean "bare bones" in the traditional computer sense of a system minus some necessary components. I mean, in other words "no frills." It needs to be a complete system. Don't want to cause any confusion.*
