I'd say, if you haven't bought the system already you could take a look at AMD's APUs. Since they have Intergrated graphics and that would help out in GPU accelerated applications. Example would be a youtube video or playing videos in general. Some other applications use it also, like photoshop and some video editing software, just in case you need that extra boost, you have it there.
As for intel CPUs, I'd say 2120.

With his choice of a Sempron processor, you can see he's seeking price point X Benefit. I'd say he can go either Intel or AMD, again that intergrated GPU is always better than Intel HD graphics, which can come in handy in some applications.
The setup I'm planning on running is this:

Sorry, My budget is around 400 dollars. Trying not to spend more but if it is a must than I will. The Ram I chose was a cheap 2x2gb DDR3 Ram Kit i could find on newegg. Plus It has good performance for the price. Also Im not worried about efficiency and the 450w is nice buffer for future upgrades down the road. I plan on doing office work and streaming videos music and other stuff.
