im sry wat? im stalking u?......wat does that mean?
anywayz if ur not gonna be do any major gaming would u be comfortable with a mobo that comes with a video card? this mobo has onboard 6100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813138027 this is like $80 and you can put an athlon 64 3500+ AM2 $90 it also comes with onboard sound. and you can get an Antec SmartPower 400Watt which is $57 and ifu want storage right now u can get a 250GB sata 3.0gb fpr $80, or you can get 2 of those. oh and for ram, just get 2x512MB dual channel of any one of these companies: OCZ, G.Skill, Crucial, Corsair, Patriot, Mushkin. it doesnt matter if its value or not, or has a heat spreader or not, heat spreaders i think are mostly used to make a computer look good, it doesnt do much towards dissipating heat, it just looks good. and as for an optical drive, just go with w/e u want, i prefer the NEC 3550A only cause it seems to be the standard nowadays, lol. and as for case, just look for something with a good design and air flow, on ur budget, jnust go with a CoolerMaster Centurion. i prefer the silver one, but they have it in blue as well.
