Internets, MS Word, etc.

Gigabyte G31 mATX
E7200
320GB WD
2GB GSkill DDR2 800
PSU - ??!?!?
GPU - ?!?? some cheap piece of crap??
Case - ?!?!? MATX?? quiet as possible

Halp! Right now the budget is at $110 or less for the rest of the stuff. Might tone it down to an E5200.

here you go man. if you live in a state that doesnt utilize sales tax, this setup should be had for under 400$. but if you live in a state that has tax it should be 414$-420$

the cheapest computer i could come up with in a few mins.
i didnt see anything about being future proof or upgradable

so here it goes, under $200!

If you're not gaming then don't get a video card. Get the Antec Sonata III Case. It comes with a solid 500watt psu.

Similar build to askareem's.

I also agree with launcherstrike though. You don't need a video card if all you're doing is web browsing, MSWord, etc.

That Gigabyte mobo has built in video since you said you don't game. The Seasonic SS-330GB is a good power supply. They make some of Antec's & Corsair's power supplies. The CM Elite 330 case is a good basic computer case. I know you posted a WD 320gb hard drive. But Seagate has a 5 year warranty vs WD 3 year. The 250gb hard drive should be more than enough for you since you stated only for internet and ms word. You could get a Seagate 500gb sata hard drive instead for $15.00 more.

For $90 Aussie I could pick up a motherboard with the 630i integrated chipset graphics thing, it should be good enough for your needs.
