Keys have been sent out. To those who received them, enjoy. To those who didn't, I will be doing another one soon. Sims does not seem to be redeemable. Not even showing on my HB redemption page, will try to resolve.

Edited original post <4:33 PST> will be home around 9:00 PST to send out keys. Good luck, it will be all random.

Hey Guys, letting go of my remaining ORIGIN <NOT STEAM> keys from the Humble Bundle. Here's what I have left: Burnout Crysis 2 Medal of Honor Mirrors Edge All three Sims (To be given out as one) I want the keys to go to people who are registered on the forum. So post what game you want. One game per person. Do not ask for a game you already own. I'll PM codes later tonight.

Yea I considered this, but while my parents aren't the most tech savvy folks, they learn quickly. I presented the benefits to them and were willing to try. I don't see them wanting to upgrade the processor either. I'll probably go with a b75 board. As for powerful supply, I may go with a 500 watt. Nothing wrong with a little extra overhead even if my little brother, who casually games, wants to throw in a GPU with his own money down the line. Thanks again for the help everyone =)

Good call and Wilco. Was planning on buying some Gentle Scythes out of pocket as a little gift. I'll look into a better CPU cooler as well.

Wow! Thanks for all the immediate responses. If Intel's integrated graphics will do the job just fine, I'll go with it for the superior CPU performance. I'll talk to the parents as well to see if they can hold out for Haswell. That parts list hit it pretty well on the nail Jacob, you rock!

Hey Ladies and Gents, pleasure to be a part of the forum. My parents recently expressed interest in upgrading to a new computer. Naturally, I begged them to allow me to build one so that they could save some cash, avoid Best Buy, and well... I could enjoy putting another PC together. - Live in the US - Budget around $600 (Excluding OS) - Will never be used for gaming - Typical Office / Email / Workstation My Dad did express an interest in connecting to his new 60 inch Samsung LED for HBO Go and ITunes library. I'm also planning on buying them a solid monitor for their eyesight. - Building in a Fractal R4 - Would like a SSD Boot - One Terabyte of storage I'm getting held up on the CPU / GPU. Will they even need a GPU to connect their T.V. / Monitor (With good quality) It's something I've never delved into. Would Intel's integrated graphics handle the job just fine or should I look into an AMD A10 APU? I would like to use as much of the budget as possible, my parents have always bought cheap, bottom of the barrel, and would like something a bit more premium. Any help is greatly appreciated!
