    This is my first time building a machine. I'm not a computer guru, however I do try to learn/understand the computer terms. After doing a little bit of research, I cam up with the following components. Main use of computer is normal office application, video/photo editing and tv/video streaming from internet. Computer for home use and I don't intend to be playing games. My current monitor LG W2361V. Any help/suggestions would really be appreciated in terms of the different components and especially in trying to reduce cost. I intend to install windows 7 (this is not included in price). My build:

    cpu: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition (pixmania) = €100

    mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P (Komplette) = €100

    ram: 2x(Crucial - 2GB 1066MHz PC2-8500) ; (Komplette) = €100

    psu: Corsair VX550W; (Komplette) = €76

    HDD: Western Digital Caviar 1TB SATAII 64MB Cache 3.5-inch Green Internal Hard Drive OEM; (Amazon) = €50

    graphics card: ASUS GeForce EN210-512 MB GDDR2-PCI-Express 2.0 (pixmania)= €58

    dvd writer: LG GH22LS50 22x DVD±RW Internal Re-Writer (pixmania)= €22

    case: COOLER MASTER Elite 310 (pixmania)= €48

    Total: €554


    The above cost does not include keyboard and mouse. Any suggestions on items would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
