Ok, I am building a system for my grandpa (opa in German) so this is what it has:
What do you think about the parts (not for gaming... for excel, internet, lots of stuff to do with stocks)

-Asus M2N-E socket AM2
-AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (windsor)
-Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 2GB (800MHz)
-Asus EN7300LE nVidia GeForce 7300Le (450MHz, 128MB)
-Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM SATA
-Antec TRUEPOWER TRIO 430W (w/120mm fan)

This computer will be running windows xp service pack 2.

This system will cost $742.08 after tax and $702.08 if we really get the $40 dollar rebate on the RAM.

I think that this is a great build and a great price!!! tell me what you think!

I agree here. I would just give him at least 1gig ram to make sure things run smoothly and how big is the hard drive you are going to install. I would suggest minimum of 80 to 120gigs if found.
