Asus M4A785DM-Pro - €65
AMD Athlon II X2 240 - €59
Corsair Twin2X 800Mhz (2GB kit) - €60
Samsung F3 500GB - €46
Corsair HX450- € ???
Sony NEC Opticarc DVD-RW - €25
Nox Cube - €59

How does this look for a build for a family member,it will be only used for watching DVD's,Browsing the web and doing office stuff.I think it should do just dandy,but I'm way out of the loop with AMD so I just wanted to check I'm not making any stupid mistakes.

Also,I'm having a brain fart at the moment and I'm not sure what version of 7 I need,if someone could tell me that would be great

TIA

Thanks,its the OEM version,right ?

Another question,can anyone confirm what standard HSF the Athlon II ships with ?

Yes the OEM version is correct for an operating system. and a new HSF from AMD is just a simple aluminum heatsink with, I believe, an 80 mm fan on it. Nothing fancy but will satisfy what you will be doing. Build looks pretty good for just cruising the internet and such. Good Luck!

Honestly if you cant fit the stock heatsink in your case, you got a problem. The stock heatsink is one of the smallest heatsinks available that will actually cool your processor to acceptable temps.
