Hi, this is my first time building a computer, I'm mostly going to be using it for Sims 3 and internet browsing, here's the specs:

Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana 3.3GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Desktop Processor ADX455WFGMBOX
GPU: SAPPHIRE 100293L Radeon HD 5570 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card
DVD Burner: LG DVD±RW SuperMulti Drive Black SATA Model GH22NS50 Bulk - OEM
RAM: 2x CORSAIR 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model CMV4GX3M1A1333C9

The total price of all that is (plus shipping): $434.8

I already have an OS, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers.

Anything else I forgot, or should change, let me know soon because im going to officially buy it all in 1-2 days.

Everything looks pretty solid to me...If I had to make a suggestion I'd say to get a little more powerful PSU; maybe 480W. Again, that's just knit-picking.

I'd also go ahead and buy an anti-static wrist strap for installation. Since this is your first build I'm assuming you don't already have one. Good luck!

OK Buying the parts today! My dad is a programmer and has a lot of extra computers laying around, so I'll just find a better PSU in there

I bought the parts! Now all I have left to do is build and install the OS! Yay!!!
