I don't know what your budget might be but you could get this prebuilt for $550 and it would be good for what you want it for. Unless you want to build a Pc , then you could give a budget amount to work with and if you need everything including a monitor , mouse , keyboard , speakers.

I could show you an amazing $4000 pc or a good $600 one but don't know what you want for sure. Please fill this out.

I have built buget PC's before and they come to about $500 without a graphics card then you can save for a better GPU in the future. This includes the operating system and the keyboard , mouse everything except screen. They are about $600 before rebates and I have put in a $50 GPU in one for a total of $480 after rebates because a fancy GPU wasn't needed by the person I built it for.

Your budget of $150 to $170 is unrealistic the parts that you buy with that budget will be extremely low quality and not guarenteed to work for very long . I do understand that you want something just for web surfing and other low impact things but your budget is just too low.

The total for this build is $221.95 after rebates and this is as low as I can possibly see a build be and you will have to use the ram and psu that you have. One thing that hurts here is the hdd prices , $79.99 is as low as there is right now unless you can find one somewhere for less. This does not include a dvd drive , keyboard and mouse , so you can see why your budget is unrealisitic.
