help me build budget system

[o0akoni0o]

well my cousin wants me to build her a complete system for her new place. my budget is $900, but $300 will go to a nice lcd, photo printer and keyboard and mouse. so that leaves roughly $600 for the computer and here are the requirements:
-preferably and sff system so it takes up less space
-dvd burner
-80gb sata hd or bigger
-wireless network card
this system will be used for internet browsing and office apps and thats it. so theres no real point in some high end video card, but there should be enough ram to multitask. so yea, build away.

Off the top of my head, without pricing, you might try a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz with a 945G motherboard, a gig of RAM, 80GB hard drive and DVD-RW. This should run well under $600.

Alternatively, Athlon 64 3000+, gig of RAM, same hard drive, DVD. You'll need a separate video card, an ATI X300 should fill the bill. Wireless networking will add $40 - $60 depending on if you get an internal one or an external USB one.

Good luck!

yes it does, the fastest onboard currently available since it has integrated memory on the mobo =D the aria is ok but cooling isn't too great.
