    Advice on a new build

    Hey Here's a build I'm doing for some family
    It'll mostly be used for basic web browsing and document editing , stuff like that but needs to last a while.

    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 black edition Desktop Processor
    Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3
    DVD Drive: LITE-ON 24X
    RAM: Corsair XMS3 2X2GB 1600MHZ
    Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series 430W Power Supply (CX 430)
    OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM
    Case: Coolermaster elite 310 (RC-310-SKN1-GP)

    Any suggestions on things that should be changed?
    Any incompatibilities I missed?
    Price isn't much of a problem if it needs to go up a bit thats ok but not too much. And I don;t think they need too much because theyre not like me they'll just being using it for your average computer stuff

    Thanks for the help

    I think the integrated graphics should be enough for them they don't do any gaming or anything like that

    Rather than an amd processor I would opt for a intel processor because intel wins every battle with amd. So if your mobo is capable enough for i3 core or i5 core processor then you should consider getting it. By getting this procesor you wouldnt have to look forward to upgrading atleast for 2 years or so. Rest of the hardware components looks fine.

    Maybe at top levels intel wins but at this price level you would only be able to get an i3 and the i3 would probably win in gaming but in regular desktop use the phenom would probably win
