Hey guys,
I'm trying to put something together for a friend, his budget is $600. Obviously, it's not trying to be a powerhouse, but I'd like to get something together with a bit of longevity. I've put something together and I'd like to get some further input on it.

I'd like to keep it mITX, but AMD boards do not seem to be very inexpensive at all for mITX. Whether AM3 or FM2+. He has a busted laptop, so I told him to just reuse his Windows license from that so he doesn't need to buy another. If at all possible, he'd also like to be able to get a monitor with that $600 budget.
The difference between a 500GB HD and a 1TB is $2. Unless the Athlon box cooler is absolute garbage, I see no reason to get a better CPU cooler. Thanks for any input!
