    That's a decent budget system. I'd have a look at replacing that power supply though with a brand named product. You don't want to risk your system with a $5 power supply, if that. Thermaltake, Antec are decent PSUs that I like though there's many other good ones.

    Looks ok for a budget build. What are you going to use it for, and do you have a set budget? I would toss the PSU in the case and buy a better one. Just had bad experiences with cheap PSU's.

    Welcome to MajorGeeks by the way!

    Im buying 2 of these. One is going to be a work machine for like word processing and email and the other is just going to be a file server for the office. Theres only like 4 computers in the office. However i wanted to eventually set up a FTP on the server. budget is between 350-450.
