No need for a video card, the i3-2100 has on-chip graphics and the P8H61-M has the required ports.
The PSU in that case is poor quality.

Looks good James, your Dad will like it. The video is crisp and clean. Video stream will be nice and not jerky as long as he has a decent internet connection. It is kind of impressive if you ask me, the K series is a touch better but what he is using it for, I would not bother.

No, it means the CPU has an unlocked multiplier which is what you would want if you want to overclock.

So far so good. I played a highlight video from last football season that I made, played smooth. I think Dad will like it. I have the computer for now, Dad won't get it untill memorial day. Thats the next time he will be here. Thanks everyone for the help.
