If some of you puterhead's will take a look at this setup I put together. I am making this for a friend. She wants a good computer she can use for home and a business and will be good for a while. I put this one together after someone had sent her a link of a similar one on ebay. So this is close to the same price but with better components. If you know of anything out there that is similar and cheaper let me know. I am looking to put one together with good components but as cheaply as I can. Thanks.

Looks good. I like ASUS for mother board that the only thing if it was me I would change if I was building it

The PSU is overkill  if she is to use onboard video - a 500w will be more than enough. Though the rest is nicely balanced.

Oh.. 60 bucks after a rebate. Can't beat that.

very good set up, I have used that MoBo in two of my friends computers, and they both have had no problems.  actually, Same story with the Harddrive, it rock solid.  I dont have any personal experience with that brand of memory, but it seems to be rated highly, so shouldn't give any issues.  

Oh, and If you want an older (top of the line years ago), GFX card, Im trying to get rid of an ati4870 (the original one, not an x2).  Not really necessary if shes not gaming, but would aid with things like HD movies... Just gimme and address and throw me a few bucks for shipping and its yours.

I have a couple old card I can give her if she wants more than the onboard card. But it will be mostly for business. That could involve some type of graphics or photography part of it but nothing more than that. Thanks for the advise on the p/s. I figured it would be but I also wanted to cover some ground if she decided at a later date to add a graphics card.
