Help me build a $400 desktop...

[Blueduck577]

Hi guys, I have been out of the comp building loop for a long long time...

I would like to spend less than $400 on a new desktop system and peripherals, minus the OS/software, monitor, and speakers. It will be used mostly for MS office and heavy surfing. I probably may watch some movies and do minimal photoshopping.

I won't be using it for CAD or gaming though, I have another comp for that.

Anyways, do you guys have any builds to suggest or have built something similar in the past that I can grab the partslist off? I would like to buy everything off newegg if possible, I've used them in the past and haven't ever had any problems.

Thanks!

Might want to pick up a Dell for this. Hit up www.gotapex.com for Dell deals.

And there are a ton of threads with similar requests for low budget PCs throughout this part of the forum. Just look around and you should find a parts list or several. Once you figure out the parts, just post your parts list here and we'll critique it.
