Selecting new parts for a build

Fitz17 · 12-30-2008, 12:45 PM

Budget: Near $500.00

Brands: No preference

Multitasking: Other than having multiple firefox windows, microsoft word, and antiviral programs - not much.

Gaming: No gaming other than the occasional flash

Calculations: No

Overclocking: No

Storage: Pictures and random files - shouldn't need more than about 300gigs of hard drive space.

Legacy Support: No

Operating System: Will be using a copy of vista ultimate 32 bit

Accessories: N/A

Monitor: N/A

Stores: Would prefer just to get the lowest price possible from the most reputable sources. IE - newegg

Location: USA

I recently received a free motherboard and case from a grant at my high school and would like to use them to build a computer for my parents as they're using a piece of junk from around 2000.

Case - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...430&CatId=1859

Mobo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...85&Tpk=GF8200A

Using around $500.00 I'd like it to be capable of being quick and easy for everyday use including the internet, microsoft office applications, and random photo editing here and there.

Thanks a lot!

This is based on using the integrated video on the motherboard and since you already have a copy of vista it's pretty cheap.
