lol, that is better than my computer.


I assume that your grandma isn't a hardcore gamer (it'd be way cool if she was though), so all those specs look fine to me.

Building a PC is easy, so I suggest you go that route.

I would've configured the entire system, but the site traffic is slowing it down to where it's painfull to for me to be on it.

Here's something to get you started:

You'll need a power supply, case and hard drive. If you play your cards right with the current sales, you'll find those 3 for under $100.

If you must buy one pre-made, this is a better PC Link (http://shop1.outpost.com/product/5450469) . Don't know how long it'll stay at that price of $270 though.

I thought grandma's preferred knitting than using computers...
