Hey! Thanks for taking a look. So I'm building a computer for a co-worker, that will mainly be used for browsing the web, media, lots of videos and just all around simple stuff.

I think $335 might be a bit overkill but this is what I came up with. I'm open to any ideas, and AMD motherboards/processors.

Please let me know what you think! Even if it's just to give me some confidence... I need to purchase it tonight. Thank you!

Dude, $335 is about right, not overkill, for the quality you're getting.

Please answer the following questions:
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?

Also, why not a prebuilt?

Off the bat, you can shave off $3.50 by getting this RAM instead:
$20 - G.Skill F3-10666CL9S-2GBNT 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
 
And here's a better PSU:

$50 - Antec NEO ECO 400C 400W PSU

It has a $20 off promotion code, EMCYTZT1905, that expires on midnight tomorrow night. In other words, you get a better quality PSU for less than the one you were originally considering.

Do I lose anything by going with one stick of ram?

I live in the United States. Pompano Beach, Florida, 33062.

Yes, I have a legit reuseable and transferable OS. Windows 7, 64 bit.

edit: I suppose pre-built could be an option.. I just thought this would be cheaper, and I would get higher quality hardware.

Thank you for taking a look!

Oh, nice. I was considering the Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D Green 380W Continuous power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply -- but this is a much better option. Thank you.


EDIT: I'm about to buy the build... if anyone has any comments. Thank you!
