I know it is sort of contradict that the video card was added where the sibling does not game. It was for some sort of graphics ready or more distributed taxing of resources among the pc.

The GPU won't help with much else than games, maybe HD movies, but only alittle at that. It is nice to have it in case a game is picked up, but that's all the decision to get it should be based on.

Links are broken but nothing looks out of place. I would personally get a cheaper case and vista.

Hey Castle.
First of all your links arent working, you should double check them.
The case for $360, sounds like a bit of money just for a basic computer, you could be happy with a $50 case.
And with the video card, even if you want one, you dont need one that good for a non-gaming system. an 8500 will be more than sufficient for your basic needs

Apart from that, i think its looking alright

I would go with this random access memory. It's $5 less expensive than what you have selected and decent quality. I just bought some of it for my upgrade.

All inputs are valued. Whys is the link all broken? It was a copy and paste from the web browser itself. How to make it viewable?

Edit: Must we make a new account with newegg for the link to stay put?
