Would only be used for browsing. Already have a case and a 250 GB HDD to go in it. Have a 7900GTX but that's probably overkill lol so will more the likely sell it so would need GFX card. Also have monitor.

Basically it needs to be good enough for office and browsing, and perhaps a little video ie DVD playback etc. Will be driving a 19" screen at native res.
 
Didnt have a budget so went cheap as possible :)

tbh that spec is a little bit ott for a browsing machine. I'd lower the board to something like an EVGA 650i jobby and the graphics to something cheaper as well if you wanted to save a few quid

edit/ don't mean to be rude though, everything else is cool
 
Sorry, forgot budget, no budget really, just don't want to spend money on something that's not needed. Though saying that cheaper is always the best option. Is that a high RAM speed necessary?
