Need Recomendation Building a system to do the following:

Web Browsing
Email
Office Aps
Occasional Photoshop
basic music and video (youtube like stuff)
Solitaire like gaming (not into the high end graphics stuff)
need LAN 10/100 (existing network)
Key issue is system stability (current system get BSOD!!)

Budget $500

I'm thinking of an E7200 based system with Integrated Graphics but a low end card is fine. I want the system to last at least 3 years.

Probably buy Win XP home (I don't want Vista hassles).

Basic Sata HD (250GB).

Prefer mini-atx but that's not a must have.

Already have monitor, DVD Player, keyboard, mouse. Looking for a quick and easy build.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Since OP wanted to have a E7200 I assumed he wanted to do some gaming/PhotoShop later or in the future. I still stand by my choice of PSU + HDD however. With a budget of $500 might as well buy/build a good PC.
