this is what I am planning on purchasing soon. This build includes monitor and keyboard and totals at 480. If you only need the box subtract 135 so that would come to 345.

edit: On board graphics includes hdmi out

for what he's doing go with yoyo's build, unless you can get an amd quad and mobo for $190.

Also Raidmax psu's are apparently worse than rosewill's so you should definetly stay away.
