New Build Help

Hello,

I need some help with my new build

I've tried to make some builds but i keep going over the budget or making some stupid mistakes

The budget is somewhere between 600 and 800 Euro's so in dollars: $880 and $1173.


Its not for gaming, so no next-gen vid card or sound card is required. It has to be fast though, I was thinking of a Core 2 Duo e8400 or maybe something a lillte less. 2 - 4 GB of RAM, 250 - 500 GB HDD or so it depends on the other costs.


Can you help me a little ?


Kind Regards

Nashirk
