Building New Machine: Help Pick Parts!

[Ravenas]

My dad needs a computer for his office. I'm going to build him one.

Mobo: GA-N680SLI-DQ6 (I own this already)

Processor: 2.66 Ghz Intel Dual Core Processor (I own this already)

RAM: Cheap 2GB of RAM? I found this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148163

HDD: Something cheap...

Graphics Card: Something cheap that will run xp/vista (no games at all)

Power Supply: Something cheap for the above

Case: Needs to be cheap...



I really want to keep this under 500$


Also.. ON the mobo and the Processor, he's going to buy me these for exchange for mine and a new computer

You should sell that N680-SLI, and just grab any G31 based Intel motherboard. It has integrated graphics, most cost next-to-nothing, and will have everything you need for an office PC.
As for the power supply, just grab a small case that comes with a PSU, preferably 350 watts or so. That will run an office PC just fine.
