Hi guys, I'm from Singapore so my options are quite limited and the prices are much more expensive compared to the US. This PC will just be for children's school work, light web surfing and powerpoint,word etc. No gaming expected. I have a strict budget of $450 so an upgrade to a g3258 or a slightly better Mobo might be possible.
I think the build is good enough though. Can I cut any more corners or is this just fine? Thanks guys
The CPU and Mobo is a bundle so I just priced one of it.

Memory: Crucial 2GB (1 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($28.00)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($70.00)

Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($68.00)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($25.00)
Total: $446.00
