New build $500-$600 range help please!

[noci]

Hey, I am trying to build a system for my little sister for the holidays. She only needs it for music, internet, videos and Sims3. She is a Sims addict -_- Any suggestions on what parts to buy for around $500-$600? Would be great if I don't even need to spend that much.
The only thing I do not need to purchase is a monitor. THANK YOU!

Check out the Recommended Builds by Usage sticky, the bargain or non-gamer builds should work for her. If those don't suite you then fill out the Build Advice sticky for more help.
