Anyone? I realize this isn't the latest gaming rig, but I just want to be sure I'm not overlooking anything, could be getting more for my money, etc. Second opinions welcome.

video card? i don't see one. operating system? misc. cables for the OEM products? sound card? that is if you don't use the onboard sound. what about mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers if you need them.

other than that not bad.

It's a build for my parents, so there won't be much in the way of gaming. I already have the OS, case, and cables. Mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor are being bought in store or are being reused from the previous system.

Any particular reason for the Fortron? I've had the above Enermax in my system for 7 months now, so I figured I'd stick to the same thing. How is the quality of the Fortron?

Is the case itself a standard case or is it micro ATX aswell?

The motherboard has the built-in GeForce 6100 chip.

Looks good I would stick to that PSU too.

I used the below case for the build that I currently have, and I used a micro ATX motherboard for that as well, so I'm failry sure it will fit.

it's not for him, it's for his parents. i think you did a great job picking out the parts. it's hard these days to find good onboard video without sacraficing other things.
