I am looking at upgrading my Dads old PC to newer components.

CPU
Memory
Mobo
PSU

Anyone have any recommendations to stick around the $300 range? I would like to get at least 8GB of RAM. He is not a gamer but does like to watch HD videos. Other than that, he spends his time surfing the net and email.
 
Motherboard ATX or mATX?

Someone will be by with FM1 components.

Intel Biostar TZ77MXE mATX $110 motherboard, I3 2100 $120 (LOOK FOR $110 on sale, recently got a 2120 for that, Corsair CX430 $45 (last day $5 off) $20 MIR,
Totals $265 so G'Skill value ram is $40 for $305 or G'Skill Ripjaws are 1600 cas9 AT $47 without discounts for $12 over
Biostar TZ77B is $80.

AMD Asrock 970 Extreme3 motherboard is on sale for $80, FX-4100 is on sale for $100, $45 PSU, is 225, $47 memory = $272
