So my Mum's old Socket 939 system died a 'natural' death (after some tinkering around, I've deduced that the motherboard has fried). Suffice it to say, she wants a new one.

As far as I know, she only things she does with her PC are Facebook, YouTube, emails etc.

Athlon X2 340
MSI A88XM-E35
4GB DDR3
GTX 650 (my old card)

How do these specs look? Overpowered?

If the bulk of the parts are free/laying around doing nothing, then no.

Dunno about where you live, but I can find a web surfer for less than $100 , closer to $50, all day long on Kijiji.
Making it a quick hop across town to see if it works and picking it up.
