              CPU: Intel G3258  3.2GHz

 Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA 1150

         Memory: G. Skill 8GB (2x4)  DDR3-1333

         Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 120Gb

              Case: Rosewill RANGER-M MicroATX mini Tower

Power Supply:Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular ATX

For internet browsing, 4GB should be fine unless you're using shitloads of tabs in chrome lel

 

Other than that it looks pretty good. (I'd recommend going with a h97 mobo instead, not sure if the h81m-p33 requires a bios update for the g3258 to work with it.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

i just did the 8GB set because its cheaper than majority of the 4GB sets that i could fine.

 

and thanks, i'll look into if it needs updates or not! (next closest quality Mobo i can find in the H97 chipset is around $70. but its still an option!

You should be fine with 4GB, also, change the SSD to something better (sadly Kingston pulled shenanigans with that drive model), this one is actually a pretty compelling cheap and fast solution http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226575&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

You should really get a 500GB HDD and wait for the ssd. 120GB goes faster than you think.

Its just a computer for my dad to browse the internet, he wont be downloading really anything.  i guess i could snag a 250GB 850 Evo for $90 . thx for the heads up

For internet browsing, 120GB is perfectly fine.
