I want to build a low budget PC for my parents ($300-$350). It's been a while since i've built a PC so i am kind of clueless on the hardware and the better deals out there. I already have a hard drive, dvd drive and windows 7. What would you guys suggest i get or is there any deal out there that i can take advantage of?
It's not a computer for gaming, just everyday use. I also need a video card strong enough to handle a 20 inch widescreen lcd monitor.
Thanks,

^^ that would be great computer for everday use. you can still play some games too, probably only at medium settings.
 
Don't forget to let him know 109 bucks will be needed for an OEM Windows 7 O/S. If you're on a very limited budget - it has to be considered when planning.

He said that he already has a copy of Windows 7.

But now I am curious if he will even come back and read the advice we gave him. He may have made one post and then will never return.
