$600-$800 build
Ok now that you know the budget what would be the best components in this price range? AMD or Intel doesn't matter. This would be a computer mainly for word processing/web browsing. Thanks

For word processing and web surfing a $300 - $400 Dell would be a better bet, and save you some money too.

Wouldn't think you'd need 200GB of hard drive space. You could cut back on that to cut costs. Also may not need the 8-in-1 card reader.
