Need a new family PC, will be used for surfing, shopping, kiddies homework. It will mainly be in the living room but will need to be used in eldest daughters bedroom too.

I need something that will cope with school homework type stuff with the odd bit of sims3 or simcity5.

Am hoping the above will do, it's a bit of a stab in the dark to be honest. Don't need optical as have a slimline dvd, already got some windows too.

Anything else needed? Low profile cpu cooler?

How does this look now, have read a lot about the AMD APUs, I must admit I hadn't paid them any attention. That mobo is the only one for that APU so quite handy that it comes with a wifi thingy.

I still cannot get my mind away from the Sugo, help me change my mind?... Thanks for replies, I'm listening :-)
