Hello all, my brother has been asking me to build him for a pc for quite some time now and i would like to get on it asap. Our budget is 400$-450 max. For just a tower and no windows.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
all web browsing and excessive youtube and music downloading and burning. movie watching too.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
400-450 max.
3) Where do you live?
california- usa
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc.
Case,CPU,MOBO,harddrive,cd drive, power supply, i think thats all?
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
we will be reusing the monitor keyboard and mouse, and speakers
6) Will you be overclocking?
nope
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
Using CRT currently, but will eventually upgrade to a 22 inch lcd.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
sometime this week or next week?
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
nothing really
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit? windows 7 32 bit
