I already have a psu 500w from thermaltake, monitor 19 wide , memory 4x1gb gskill pc6400 , case.

im building this at my father request he had a friend that was going to pay around 900$ (not in the us) for a core2duo 2.5 ghz (5200 i suspect) , with 250gb hd, 2 gb of ram(pc 5300 i suspect), 19inch lcd , , basically it came to my mind:


1-that a gigabyte ep45 will be an overkill so i would like to get a recommendation for a mobo cheaper less than a 100 and higher than 60$.

2- will and stock coooler for a e4300 work for a e5200?

3-i dont really think it will be used for gaming , but i guess that a cheap video card will be somehow good to get a nice image out of it.


the parts are being ordered in the states.


my aim is a e5200 with a 500gb hd, 4 gigs of ram , vista 64, with a low range video card.

sry if i forgot something ill be following the topic and if you have any questions ill get back asap
