Shopped for, specced out, bought, installed, configured a new desktop for Margie. Ended up with a PowerSpec G421 from our local Micro Center (http://www.microcenter.com/product/424423/G421_Desktop_Computer), and at a discount to boot. Intel Core i7-4770K Processor 3.5GHz, 16Gb DDR3-1600 RAM (expandable to 32Gb), 120Gb Solid State Drive (C:) with a 2Tb 7,200RPM Hard Drive (D:). Twin NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 graphics cards. Plenty of expansion slots. Margie should be pretty happy with all that for a while.
It came with Win7 installed, but with Win8 disks if I choose to upgrade it. Not today.

Shazam! Nice system you picked out there.
@Lee – Thanks!
I didn't think she's that much of a gamer to require two GTX 760 cards. I only have one in my box and it's pretty good by itself.
The 2x model was marked down to just above the 1x model, so it wasn't that big of a trade-off. In my (hasty) research, I heard so-so things about the GTX 760, but time didn't allow further study.
Regardless, it seems to be working for her, huzzah.
Huh, I bought the GTX 760 because I'd heard a lot of good things about it. It's handled pretty much everything I've thrown at it at fairly high settings.
+Les Jenkins Well, then Margie should be really styling.
(She did note, in the limited testing she could do before I fled town on business that at least one of her games was running a lot cooler than before.)
