President's Day Sales?

After a few weeks of deliberation, I'm finally pulling the trigger on a lower-end gaming rig for the boy...

Basically, he's fed up with hand-me-downs, and I told him that if he'd save up $200, then I'd match it and we'd get him a decent barebones rig that would last him a while.

Probably looking for an i3, or AMD equivalment... 4-8 RAM, 1tb HDD (no SSD), etc. ... He's 8. He only plays what titles are 'mom approved', and he is truly just trying to get to the level of DC Universe & Minecraft on PC. He has a 'docked laptop' that won't run either.

Oh, and this budget needs to fit in the OS as well, so I'm hoping that MS still offers OEM versions, or Serial only versions instead of all the packaging/tech support/fluff.

Will be pricing @ new egg & Tiger this evening.

Any thoughts?
