I'm trying to build a computer for my dad that will last him for awhile. He's a pretty basic home office user, how does this build work? Do all the pieces go together?

That mobo uses DDR2 not DDR3. If you're on a budget get this

You make a separate partition for the OS, some 50GB.
Or if you want two HDDs get this
