I need some advice.This is for my stepmother.She doesn't play videogames or run large business programs.

First problem,idk her budget.Just told me to get these:
#1)Motherboard
#2)Ram
#3)HDD
#4)Keyboard with cover
We just bought a brand new seasonic 300W atx12V 80+bronze cert psu

I want to get her good stuff,not beat around the bush getting her stuff that's going to crapout on her in a short period of time.
Here is what I cameup with.
MSI 970A-G43 AM3+,will her AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ work with it?Just want to double check.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231474
Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"

Is this a good combo?$155.97 total in the cart.
It needs a gpu,wich one of these 2 would be your choice?
ASUS 8400GS-SL-512MD3-L GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 32-bit
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121711
MSI N210-MD1G/D3 GeForce 210 1GB 64-bit
MSI N210-MD1G/D3 GeForce 210 1GB 64-bit
I figure a $5 difference getting 1gb 64b would be better & it matches brand of the motherboard,not that it matters but its nice lol.
$190.96 total with msi gpu.Hopefully this fits her budget.I will talk to her again in a bit.I believe this is a good combo.Good brands,decent price,& up to date mostly
I'm having trouble finding a keyboard that has dust covers available for them,anyone know any?
