Im trying to build my gf a comparable system to the Dell E310 and I think ive assembled a better computer for less money.

Please remember this is suppose to be a budget system. NOT INTENDED FOR GAMING OF ANY SORT!

Thanks for the suggestions, im trying not to add any more price to the current configuration. I think 400W is plenty of power for the setup, considering its not going to be a gaming rig of any type, Maybe I should have stated that to begin with.
 
Oh, well, if it's not going to be used for gaming then I guess you don't need a better video card/more RAM. But I'd still get that PSU; it's the same price as the one you listed and, IMO, better.
