Hi everyone,
Im currently looking at parts to build my mother a computer and would like your opinions.
She plays little xp or 7 games like point and click games and diner dash.
This is currently what i think is a decent build (no cd drive included as she has one)

Any recommendations are much appreciated and im also not going to use a graphics card as i dont think she will need it.

P.s. the reason why i am going intel is for single core speed and low power.

Your list is pretty good. But a 500W PSU is a bit overkill for that PC. I dont think it will ever draw over that much power . If you wanna save some bucks get a 400 W PSU and everything will still run all right . If you do change your mind in the future about installing a GPU then stick with the EVGA PSU.

Thanks i have been umming and rring about the cpu mainly and the only reason i went 500 is because thats the cheapest bronze rated psu stocked locally, they dont seem to have the 400s for about 5 months now (plus it also does give the chance to upgrade the performance later like you said)
