hey,
my parents need a new computer, so i told them i'd put something together.
wont be used for anything special really my mom just uses FB and other stuff like that. but my little brother wants to be able to play a few games. heres what i put together:

Thermaltake V3 Black Edition Mid Tower Case
Asus P5G43T-M Pro
Corsair 550W VX series
Mushkin EM3-10666 DDR3-1333MHZ 2GB
ATI RADEON HD 4550
Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB
Intel Pentium Dual Core E6500 Socket LGA775, 2.93 GHz
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 LP

i only spent maybe 10-15 minutes putting it together so just wanted a second opinion on it. total cost is about $600. i dont want to spend to much money on this.

also! i have windows 7 on my computer and i came with a disc for the 32-bit and 64-bit, i used the 64-bit on my pc. could i put the 32-bit on my parents pc? or would there be problems?

thanks in advance :)
 
for just some web browsing and even light gaming, that's a kick butt build! at a glance, i have no complaints.
 
i just dont like the cooler they throw in with the processor.
when i got my i5 i pulled the stock cooler out and threw it across my room :P
 
I think maybe you'd get a better deal by using AMD instead. Just a thought.

Interesting that you found a 775 board that supports DDR3 though...
 
No you will not be able to use the 32 bit on your parent's pc. Windows retail version only comes with one key so they have to be used on the same computer.
