Added a third party cooler incase you want to overclock it in the future (could make it in to a gaming rig), if you want it cheaper you could get a smaller HDD, drop the third party cooler and get the slowest Core 2 Duo you can.

^Didn't select case/keyboard of mouse as you can chose them yourself. Could go for a Tuniq tower for third party cooler if you want though, that rig should allow you to upgrade quite well too.

thankyou so much

your awesome

No prob - you might want to wait for some other peoples suggestions though, they might be able to do it cheaper for you - thats what I would go for personally though.
