All,

I wonder if you can cast your eyes over this spec please. I am building a new PC for my father: usage will be internet, listening to music, storing photos etc, just general use. It will not be used for gaming. Budget is £300-400 I guess.

I want to get good value for money given the general usage of it:

Phenom II X2 550 Black
780G/785G motherboard
4GB DDR2 or DDR3 Ram
Antec 300 case
1-1.5TB hard disc
Windows 7, 64bit
Corsair 450W PSU
Whatever DVD drive/keyboard/mouse/monitor he has lying around!

Questions:

Should I aim for 780G or 785G?
DDR2 or DDR3?
Do I need a separare heatsink/fan, mainly for low noise?

Thanks in advance!
