Will I need a graphics card with this set up?

[RichterFry]

I just built a sold machine for myself, and now my mother wants me to build one for her as well. Her general uses will be things like YouTube, e-mail, and a lot of very low demanding games, graphcally speaking, like Zumba and Peggle types of games. Now, she said she only wants to spend about 400 (for the tower, no monitor/keyboard etc). Now, if O were to buy this set for her, would I need some sort of Graphics card?

The 880G has built in video so you would not need a gfx card.

Well, no, I know it has an on board graphics chip set, I mean will the integrated graphics be able to handle those games fine?

Never played either of those games so I have to ask if they are stand alone games or played in a web browser?

my suggestion, even for a bunch of flash games, is a Llano build.

I built this kit for my sister, and it'll do everything your mother wants for $346.99:

Professional at work, stand aside!

Nah, just an enthusiast I build computers for fun, but I'm hardly a *professional*

I'd either go with Llano or with an AMD E-350 build. Should be plenty IMHO, and you could stick the E-350 MiniITX board in a small case to minimize the space it takes up.
