5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? monitor, keyboard, mouse...
6) Will you be overclocking? no
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have? 20"
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? next month
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? onboard audio.video is fine, but need good amount of usb ports, media inputs, etc
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? yes

been out of the game for a year, trying to determine what $400 will get me for a heavy app pc. This is used for job, heavy browsing, some gaming, music/video usage.
 
Yah, for AMD platforms, you'll want at least DDR2-800.

For heavy multi-tasking, I'd swap in a quadcore if at all possible, like the Athlon X4 620 g linked above.
