Total $529
With shipping and tax it should be a little less then $600

*Note: You dont even need to spend 600$ on a computer for basic needs such as web surfing and listening to music. You can really go cheaper on some of the parts I listed. Your needs are not exactly demanding on a computer. EX: You could switch the CPU and the Motherboard to a AMD type since they are generally cheaper. You could change the graphics card to a 7 series. etc.

Here's a couple builds I figured I would post. The first is showing you what you can get cpu-wise (quad-core) which would be ridiculously future proof for your needs. The second is a very cheap system that would do what you need to just fine as well. Maybe use one or both as a starting point for your build, concerning hard drives, case, etc.

That's all you'll need for surfing the web and email. Nothing more, nothing less.

But you could definitely get less without affecting performance.

No reason to buy a standalone video card. Anything other than onboard graphics is a waste of money.
