Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
First, if you can get one ordered instead of built, do that. But if its built or no computer, then ask for the following.
-i5 processor
-3 or more Gigabytes of 1600 Megahertz ram
-Western Digital Caviar Black 640 Gigabyte Hard Drive (trust me, its about the best on the market right now)
- The best ATI Radeon Video card you can get for a hundred dollars (plus or minus ten)
That alone will be enough computer to run anything, the rest he can figure out for himself. Though, if he's ordering all of the parts online and you'd like to drop me a message, I can send you an actual link to a cart with everything you'd probably need to make a nice quiet computer.
You need to figure out your budget, then what you want, then try to fit the two together. If you drop me a line, see if you can get your mom to give you an idea of how much you have to spend, you could probably pay somewhere between eight hundred and twelve hundred and get a really great computer that will last you quite a while.
But, I also can't help but say that a Dell laptop with accident protection is a sweet deal. They cover drops and spills, you can literally tell them that you dropped your laptop off a building and they'll fix it or replace it. Coverage like that for three years is worth the extra cost of having one built for you.
