I need to put together a basic box for my mom, basically web, streaming video, some office applications, photo editing, etc. She's got an Athlon 939 system currently that I built, but it's showing some age.

I'd be sticking with XP.

Worked out something for about $250 earlier:

$39.99 + $12 MIR T925-2060 ::Thermaltake PurePower 430-Watt Power Supply

$39.99 + 20 MIR P33-5310 ::patriot PG34G1333EL Gamer 2 Desktop Memory Module - 4GB, PC3-10666, DDR3-1333MHz (already ordered 2 of these for my BF3 system, so I guess I'd need to order to another address if I want to take advantage of the rebates)

$64.99 A79-2550 ::AMD ADX255OCGMBOX Athlon II X2 255 Dual Core Processor - 3.00GHz, Socket AM3

$49.99 B450-2423 ::Biostar N68S3B GeForce 7025 Motherboard - Micro ATX

$39.99 C283-2046 ::Cooler Master RC-310-BWN1-GP Elite 310 Mid-Tower Case - ATX, mATX(13.7 lbs) (If there's a less black colored case, I'd probably go for it, she doesn't like black that much)

HDDs, peripherals, and monitor are already on her current system.
