Is that build good? That's basically the whole budget incl monitor etc, which I've included

basically, there's 4gb of ram because she likes things to load instantly, Already purchased Windows 7 for the rig 64bit.

Anything that I can save her money on or is there anything that should be changed? cheers!

Ditto.

 

[iPROTechman]

Ditto.

Asus M4A78LT-M LE AMD 760G (Socket AM3) DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard - Aria Technology

Sorry, there ya go.

Motherboard has two DIMM slots, but you are ordering four sticks of RAM? That'll be a neat trick. Be sure to post pics.

Go ahead and use these instead:

Actually:

Arianet 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Single Channel Module - Two of them Thus making 4gb 2x2gb

Skip the Arianet memory and spend the extra cash and get the memory Trotter linked you to.
