Western Digital 2TB SATA 6Gbps Power Saving Internal Hard Drive OEM - Caviar Green

OCZ OCZ600MXSP-UK ModXStream Pro 600W ATX Power Supply

Edimax PCI EW-7722IN 300Mbps Wireless 802.11n Network Card with 3dBi High gain Detachable Antennas

Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 XMS3 8GB Two Memory Module Kit

I have not included prices as i just need someone to check, also, will i need any sata cables to hook the dvd drive and hdd up to the motherboard. Thanks
 
Well for basic home computer tasks I feel like the i3-2130 is a little quicker. The 965BE is good too though, I've had a few Phenom II X4 Deneb chips. If he does heavily threaded applications like video editing or rendering the Phenom is the better choice. But for browsing you can't get much better than an i3 for the price.
