Ordered this off newegg last night with a $600 budget and wanted feedback on any of the products or see how you think we did with our $600. Would have posted for advice but needed to order asap and won't be playing any games anyway.

Already had a mouse, OS, and an old Radeon X300 I was going to use in it.

That looks just fine, if you're not gaming.

I am not a fan of AMD processors anymore. Seems to me as if intel has the bigger lead right now.

For what his purposes, he wouldn't need a powerful processor.

That's a fine build if you're not planning to play any games.

i would recommend amd for people with low budgets...gaming or not.
But i think trancend ram is some bad ram...but i guess it doesnt matter if he isnt gonna game.

Not bad for $600...especially since you fit a monitor in that budget too.

should have everything in tomorrow and this will be my first build!

building this for my brother hence the whole no gaming thing, funny thing is compared to what I'm gaming with his cpu is powerful, although I realize its not powerful by todays standards.

Can't wait to get this puppy set up and tinker around with it.
