Cheap pc for my mom?

[jesman1985]

This might sound stupid.. but i need some advice on building a PC for my mom.. ( i know im awesome). i love putting systems together and honestly feel im pretty good at it.. i have built the one that im using right now.. BUT.. her PC requirements are pretty low.. all she wants to do is play farmville and watch youtube.. surf the web that type of deal.. no video editing and no gaming.. the gamer inside me wants to throw an 80+ certified 800w psu, phenom x4 965 cpu, and an ati 5850gpu in there just cause..lol.. building a mid to high end rig is no problem.. but a low price, low requirement rig is frustrating..i keep overkilling it.. so if anybody has any thought on a cheap cheap cheap rig.. please let me know.. only thing i had in mind was a 790gx mobo cause of the onboard graphics.. mybe thats not even needed.. i dunno.. also i would be needing a monitor and a operating system.. the cheaper the better but id like a little performance in there.. so if ya have any thoughts or ideas to go along with my own in the build please let me know.. thanks in advance.
