hey everybody :p

im currently trying to build a computer for my grandma's old dell computer. she doesn't do much on it except for playing bingo, spy/puzzle games, occasional youtubing ect. ect.
now what im looking for is the cheapest build possible but not cheap and crapy. she doesn't really need anything amazing because she doesn't do much on the system she has.
this is what i have so far.

if ther is a part that is better and cheaper than any of the things i have up here plz let me know.
thanx for the help :)
 
cool build trotter thanx, but i was trying to get a build around an intel chip (i shoulda mentioned that) my fault. the case is the only thing i have as of right now. any other suggestions. is my build a good build or does it need to be revamped
 
I wouldn't trust the PSU. Go with the Antec I posted and you should be good.

You would get more of a PC with the Athlon 260, though.
 
because you totally rock trotter and the fact that you've never led me astray in the past i shall believe in your words and make an amd build instead my friend
