Basic build advise.
Hey all,
Guess I'm going to do a build for a gal who desperately needs something just after Christmas. Doesn't need anything more than this, but was just wondering if something has came out that is better value for this kind of budget level. (Haven't been staying on top of the latest developments and I know you guys stay pretty current.) Use is going to be for basic home media and light gaming. Your opinions will be greatly appreciated! Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the motherboard advise. (Better and nice convenience features.) Just looked into my back stock and realized I still have a nice Sonata II w/EA380 PSU and an Asus DV/RW SATA drive. Decent little build. Appreciate the better advice guys! Have a safe holiday!

Agreed, looks good with the change to the GPU and the Mobo.
