I have built some gaming PC's in the past so I know what to look for on those fronts, but I need to build a $300 (max is maybe $320) computer that will let me skype, browse the web and watch youtube and such. I have tried and it keeps coming out to $400 and above. Please help

I already have a OEM of Windows 7 32-bit, a mouse, keyboard, and a monitor.

So if anyone has any suggestions that would help me out a lot

Underpowered, no. Your system will not use even 100W. Cruddy, yes.

Thank you, I think i'm going to use your build, I will probably change a few things, like the HD cause I wont need something that large for this one, and the case seems to be sold out on newegg so i'll just find another case which is no big deal. Overall I like the build, its under my price point and still good for what I need
