So, here’s the final list of what I picked up. It’s a little bit of everything, but honestly, it’s more than enough for an 80-year-old retiree's needs. 🙂

Asus H81M-R motherboard
Intel Celeron G1840 processor
Patriot Sig. DDR3 1600Mhz, 4GB, HS
Intel HD 520 120 GB SSD SATA 3 (comes with a 5-year warranty)
MS GRIFFIN PLATINUM 400 V2 case with power supply
=$538 (Best Buy)

And just so you know, there aren't any Spire cases available.

Thanks, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one. Cheers!

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on a setup in the $1,500-$$667 range. It's going to be used strictly for checking emails and working in Microsoft Word. I'm thinking integrated graphics and maybe 4 GB of RAM—just some basic guidelines to start with. Thanks!

Just a heads-up, starting tomorrow Walmart is rolling out a new pricing structure based on updated calculation metrics (things like policyholder benefits, past claims history, etc.). This should actually lead to lower rates across the board, especially for current customers. You could see bonuses climb up to a maximum of 74%, increasing by about 4% each year...
