Building a Comp for my Dad

well my Dad is still using an ancient Pentium 4 that is starting to give him more problems then its worth. And well its hard to help him out with issues when you are 1600 miles away.

I am looking to build him a basic computer. The intent is to have it decently fast in all areas, all new hardware, be rock solid stable, have room for future upgrades, use a descent 7200 RPM drive, use a 80+ certified PSU and be descent looking. And all for around 300 bucks (I know it seems a tall order). But this is what I got right now...let me know what you guys think or any suggestions you have.

Sadly I have my grandparents on a p2 233mhz system that we built back in 98 or so, still runs like a champ.

I'm not really a fan of biostar motherboards, but with what you have there it looks pretty decent.

What issues have you seen from them Bobby? I think I had one awhile ago and it was ok.

I had one years ago, I'm pretty sure I sold it while it was still working great. I think the biggest thing about it was that it was a little on the vanilla side of things, no advanced tweaking settings. For your use though I'm sure it will work great.

One humorous thing is that before I knew about bios upgrades, I called to ask about getting a bios upgrade so I could run windows 2000 instead of me, and they just tried to sell me a news chip instead of just telling me about being able to flash it.
