the psu and mobo brands you picked arent really good. what is your total budget for this, we might be able to rework some things for more performance.

i have come up with a build for you, but i forgot to also ask you, what will you be using it mostly for, general use web surfing, email, gaming?

meh, sorry i shouldve asked everything in one post, makes a neater thread

ok, this is a little over your budget, but you get better parts for your money. totals $525. to reduce cost, you could reuse some parts from another computer if you have one, or go with less ram.
