Office Machine Spec Check

[GeForce]

Simple office machine, will be used for web browsing and word document. Needs to be able to play videos too.

How's this looking? Any suggestions? And a couple of questions:
- Will this CPU work in that barebones system?
- I assume the integrated graphics is sufficient for playing videos?
- I want to run Vista Home Premium. I think this system is capable, can anyone confirm?
- Does the barebones system come with cables?

Thanks,

Jon

Yes, it should be capable of taking that CPU. I imagine that it'd be OK with Aero though it might be a bit choppy at times.

EDIT: Get the Corsair Value PC2-5300 instead. It costs the same but can run faster. Why not?

EDIT2: I'd me more likely to get something like this:

The integrated 7-series graphics should be much better and the faster CPU clockspeed should make it last a little bit longer.

Thanks mate

If I do decide to go with the barebones option, do you know if it supplied with the necessary cables? Ie. IDE/SATA etc?

Thanks again,

Jon

I don't know for sure though I reckon they do since you'd be sunk if it didn't include them.

Haha yeh. That was my line of thought exactly. I'll give the shop a ring tomorrow and make sure
