If I had $300.00 USD to use, I would build my mom a computer and preload it with a bunch of her favorite games, videos and music to listen to because a lot of her tech has been taking a crap on her lately and she doesn't have any source of entertainment and let's be honest, board games can only be replayed so many times before you go insane haha. I really appreciate the fact that you're doing this giveaway though, Merry Christmas, Linus! Can't wait to see what videos you have for the upcoming Holiday's this year. Plus a bonus is she could finally watch your videos to learn a thing or two about what's happening in the tech world so I don't have to tare my hair out trying to teach her! I hope that a "wish list" is acceptable on Amazon, it comes to just barley under $300.00 USD at the time of this post: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2XXO3CDKZ4VE/ref=cm_wl_huc_view I have some ram laying around that would work and a 1GB 7770 that should be perfect for her, she doesn't do anything super intensive so I see no problems with this build.
