Description

Built a rig for my grandma, as the title says. It's absolutely overkill for what she does, but my grandpa is a huge computer nerd and absolutely had to have the latest and greatest. Anyways, it will last her a looooong time, should be reliable, and she won't have to upgrade it.

Why does your grandma have to have a better gaming computer then me? At least I actually game, unless your grandma is one of those super hip ones.

So what if his grandpa is a huge computer nerd and wanted the best components possible for her PC? That has nothing to do with what his grandma does with her computer.
