I hope to buy the parts and have it built by the end of the month but I am not in a rush to do this. I am looking to spend between 500-800 for a mostly surfing the internet and casual gaming computer. I need help on all parts except for monitor and peripherals. I am in the United States and prefer to use newegg.com but the site does not matter much. I have no preference of parts and have don't plan on overclocking. I plan on running at 1024x768. Here are the parts I came up with so far none of these are set in stone.

This is what happens when people come here and do NO research...
AMD can only take dual channel ram... *facepalm*

You do not need a sound card, try onboard audio and if its no good, get a sound card.

with those savings ^
get this video card,

Thank you for the help. I did research the ram I just forgot that it had to be in pairs.
