Good build for word processing?

I'll be switching out the HDD, PSU, and RAM (since I don't like rebates...)

But overall, is it good? It's the motherboard and CPU durability and compatibility I'm worried about...

Suggestions welcome.

Why not just buy a motherboard with onboard video, that way you won't have to even bother to buy a video card.

Oh, well you should have specified that in the thread, as you kinda just it's for word processing. Anyways, if your brother wants to play Bf2, he should probably get a better card than the 7300LE...

And BTW, my mom's other rig, E4300 + 7300LE... My bro can play BF2 at low-med settings at 94+ FPS.
