I was going to make a list, but everyone beat me to it

Good advice yall... I do think that a 2500 is overkill for a web machine, and like others said, get the cheapest vid card you can find. GF4MX, Radeon 7000, something like that.

Avoid ECS mobos though. They are cheap, but they cost so little for a reason. I had one and it was the biggest POS I have ever seen. Had to be RMAs TWICE, and still never worked right.
