my mom (which has nearly no knowledge about pcs) went to best buy ~3 years ago to get a new computer. now this computer is starting to crap the bed. so i need help "convincing" her it was a terrible choice

 

emachines EL1360G‑UW11P 

Installed memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics processor: AMD GPU
Processor speed: 1.3 GHz
Operating system: Windows
Drive capacity: 500 GB Drive
Style: Small Form Factor, Tower

im looking to see how much each part cost (besides windows 7)

 

i want someone to guess how much she bought it for ~3 years ago.

I just found that gpu for the exact same model on newegg

Don't be fooled by the bottom line of my sig, that is just for my travels.

So you're telling me that Gaben is no God? Enough of your foolishness.

My hardware you ask? I'm using a Dell Inspiron 3217 Notebook... With an LG 25UM57.

Probably 450-500ish?

you're right on the dot. i could build one that does double what that could do for the same price. but 3 years ago. prices would have been different

Yeah, I get older used computers and tune them up for my folks. do that every couple of years and they're happy. only around 100 per upgrade.
