Hi guys :)

I need to get a list of components to build a home office PC. This will be used for mainly web browsing, Microsoft office, and e-mail so it doesn't need to be really over the top.

EDIT: Price limit is around $600-$700 including Microsoft Office + Windows and i already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers.

I would go for a cpu with intergrated graphics such as the i3-4130
A power supply unit of around 500 watt
A motherboard like Gigabyte MB H81M-D2V is good enough for you if your monitor has a DVI
Your pc case is mostly your choice and mainly what your local store has available
Also you can go for 4 gigs of DDR3 memory, I mainly buy Corsair.
 
Then this is for the job.
