Hey guys a little help here i'm building a new computer for my brother his budget is 400 and i i found this little combo http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.660856 How is this combo for facebook and web surfing Already got a 24inch monitor and keyboard and mice along with gtx 275.Should i get this build for him?by the way facebook games is flash base from the looks of this setup it looks like over kill for something like this but i just wanna get input from you guys before i put a order in.
 
It's an ok setup. However there are two issues that I should point out:
1) You're limited to only 4GB of RAM with those RAM sticks and that motherboard
2) That case is cramped. So cooling and space issues might arise if you try to use that GTX 275. However the PSU will be enough for the GTX 275.
 
budget is 400 so what would be good to buy with room for a gtx 275 and pretty decent cooling.
 
$125 - Intel Core i3-2100
$65 - MSI H61M-E33 Intel H67 mATX Motherboard
$24 - Kingston KVR1333D3N9 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
$60 - Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
$70 - Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-620 620W PSU
$45 - Thermaltake V3 Black Edition VL80001W2Z ATX Case
---
Total: $399 shipped

Larger PSU, roomier and better cooling case, faster hard drive, more room for RAM
 
nice build as usual Danny_Bui, maybe he should consider selling the gtx 275 and using that money for other parts and get a nice little 5670 or somthing? Thoughts?

Really no point IMO: That PC should be more than enough for the OP's brother's needs. So really not much else you can upgrade that'll provide a cost-effective upgrade over the setup I proposed.
