My cousin needs a computer for school, and he asked me to build him one. I haven't done a computer build in a while and have never done an intel build. He basically needs a computer than can do the basic things like homework/internet etc, but it also needs to be able to handle sound editing and playing for when he gets set up for it down the road. This is what I have so far, and I'm sure I got at least one thing wrong, or could do something better.

Well first u need to ask urself what ur gonna use ur computer for.
For gaming? programming? music ? work ? movies ?
Then u can start to consider on what components u need to buy.
I think its a good system u got there but what will u need it for ?
And whats ur budget ?
 
What was you looking at as far as a video card? I think a 6600GT would be a good fit as it's a great budget card
