New General Purpose Build
The following list of components was put together for a general use PC. Basically Office apps, surfing the net and the like. No heavy duty gaming. I put together the list based on recommendations for other builds posted here (you guys always give great suggestions). I was not given a budget for this build, so I put together a system that would allow me to swap out components to build it less expensively if necessary or some higher end parts if I get the feeling they want more. Just curious what others may swap out if the budget was either increased or decreased. These parts came to just under $800. with shipping from Newegg.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

With Windows 7 64 bit I'd get 4gb ram. If they want higher end, I'd go with socket 1156 instead of adding to that 775 build - such as an i5-750 on one of the Asus P7P55D boards. For lower end, you could get an Asus P5KPL-CM or P5KPL-AM, a lower end 775 processor, and still use a video card.

Thanks for the feedback. I was in fact figuring 4 GB of RAM. That was the wish list and I did not update the quantity when I posted.
