help buildin computer
hi im needing a new computer and was wondering if a few people could post a list of components i would need for building a computer for mostly downloading and listening to music....maybe watching movies. and just home use. Im willing to spend around $500. I dont need a mouse monitor keyboard or any other accessories just the computer itself. thanks to whoever contributes

Spend a few more bucks and get one WITH a heatsink. Makes it last longer and cools it down much better
