well you dont really need a monster computer 4 that, i'd say look 4 a 1.2GHZ or higher, 512MB-1Gig RAM, on Ebay, should find something decent like that 4 around 250-300.

He is looking for a list of computer components for him building a new computer,

2, Hard Drive (IDE or SATA)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822145091

3, Motherbord (Amd for gaming and Intel for multi-tasking, looks like multi tasking for you)


4, Processer (To match the socket of the motherbord)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819112208

5, CD-Rw, Dvd-/+RW drive(s)

6, floppy drive(s) (Not needed)

7, PSU (This has to match the motherbord, I.E- 20 pin, 24 pin, or 20+4 Pin)

8, Graphics 9For your set up this is generaly not needed but if you find a motherbord with intagrated graphics.

9, Oh yes ram (This also has to match the motherbord, IE, DDR2700, DDR 2100, or DDR3200. Some may be DDR 2 if you are willing to dish out.

10+, Then all your input and output, keybord, speakers, monitor and mouse. Also a mic for voip

also i was thinking of an external harddrive necessary to make my comp better? and if so any ideas thanks guys this forum rocks
 
Whats your budget in a number range... "low budget" is a bit unspecific and it will be alot easier to give you an exact build list recomendation if you give us your budget; for instance $500.
 
I would be willing to spend 400-500 on the tower itself no monitor or keyboard
with cd/dvd burner good memory good mother board good processor u kno all that good stuff
 
Consider something like:

MSI 945GM2 H-F Socket T - $88.99
Intel Pentium D 805 - $107.55
1 GB (2 X 512 MB) OCZ Gold; DDR2 667 (4-4-4-12) - $93.99
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250 GB (16 MB cache) SATA 3.0 - $79.99
Athenatech A413WG.400 - $35.50
NEC 3550A - $34.99

Total - $441.01; -$15 rebate $426.01

Based off Praetor's $500 "work" build, some components substituted.

You might be a little limited by the PSU and integrated graphics if you ever want to play games, but you've still got some room in your budget so you can always add a dedicated video card.
