So I'm building a PC for someone who is going to be using it mainly for internet browsing/a few applications so wants it to be relatively quick, of course not lightning fast. He is upgrading from a Pentium 4 with 2GB RAM so it is obviously quite an upgrade. My parts list is here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3Aes7.
