get a much better GPU, I have never even heard of the x1550 or whatever! Also, it will be cheaper to get ONE 500GB instead of TWO 250GB HDDs. you will need thermal grease, its like 5 bucks.

ok you dont need a 700+ power supply for a home computer. your going to be running a very weak graphics card, the most you will need for this system is 500, and with 500 you would still have tons of wattage to use leftover, so get a cheaper psu, and get a operating system

another thing i would segest is getting a cheaper cpu, for whats shes using that computer for you wouldnt need to spend over 100 dollors on a cpu,

if you take a look at the case. you can get a combo deal with a psu there and it is 500 dollars.

and after revising the proccessers that can go with that motherbored i changed my mind.
mainly because thats the best one for the price might as well spend 20 more dollors then normal for the great speed change right?

I bought my mom a dishwasher instead of a computer

Actually, this GPU is much better for moderate gaming.
