I think they mean a "Practical" system without the dual opterans.

A decent system would be a:

Ocz Modular Power Suply
3700 64 90nm winchester or 3000 if your overclocking
DFI Nforce 4 mobo
2x512 Corsair Value Ram
Nvidia 6800 Ultra or 6800gt if on a budget
Dell 2045 24" LCD on sale at dell (Check Hot Deals) for $860.
Logitech Mx Duo

This would be a killer system for graphics, games, and just about everything else. I picked the 3700 because of its price point. It has dropped the most in price in the recent price cut.

i thought the 3700 was socket 754?

Ok then, ultimate gaming/movie display. ^^


Since this system obviously isn't going to be portable, there are no virtue's to getting an LCD.

$602.06 NEC/Mitsubishi DP2070SB-BK


Hers's the best 22" monitor- although at its resoulution I'm not sure how you could see anything- 3840x2400 Viewsonic

Edit: By graphics stuff do you mean workstation apps or gaming?


No... this the finest CRT ever made
The only available CRT to achieve 97.6% of the Adobe RGB color space
 
What Software will be used is also an important detail. This is especially true for the video card as a Workstation class vidcard is only important for certain Graphical tasks, such as 3DSMax, Maya, Lightwave, etc. If she's just using Photoshop or some other 2D type Paint appy there's no use getting a Workstation class vidcard.

Sorry djmihow, this is no place to ask for good intel recommendations, obviously. You might try xtremesystems tho, they have a forum specifically for intel.
