Any problems with this spec?

Friend asked me to build something for browsing, listening to music and light office work.

ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO 785G Socket
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1GHz
Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB
Antec 300 Three Hundred Case
Powercool 450W 80plus Certified efficiency

Total = £342.93

I heard that the AMD overclocks well if required. I currently have his old PC and its the 2nd time i'm rebuilding it. They use to moan about how slow it was when browsing or to switch applications.

I think the Ram will be more than enough to cope with their daily activities.

Opinions?

I just bought one of these for my mum and I'm surprised how good it is. Save yourself the time and effort. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-239-OK&groupid=43&catid=1078&subcat=

Thanks for this but I want something with a bit of grunt. And also this setup needs to support dual screen setup.

Seems ok.
does your mate already have a graphics card? Or are you going to be using the onboard vid.

The onboard video seems the best option as this has DVI and VGA available.
