$350 basic computer build

[ScrewySqrl]

This build is a replacement for my wife's computer -- an old Core2duo that has been getting cranky lately, and just had a hard drive failure on its 500 GB boot drive. Primary uses as web browsing, youtube, facebook/kongregate games (flash and Unity games), an occasional free MMO, and steam Indie games.

It will connect to a 1600x900 monitor and also load a 1TB drive as a data/storage drive

Just wondering if I'm losng much by using the A68 motherboard instead of an A88X, given this isn't going for powerhouse or any sort of power overclock.

looks ok to me. Should be a zippy little machine for its intended purpose.
