Hi, I am going to build a computer for my father, He needs something that will run internet and small programs such as Microsoft Office and Windows Media very fast. Although he never games and never will. He owns a small business so he needs it reliable and to run very cool because he leaves it on all the time. will this build work for what he needs? BTW he loves red and black that why I went with these parts.

Looks good, I'd suggest going the APU route, however but that is just me.

I like WD also, but the name id Blue Drive and I am going with a red theme. I know the drive is not actually blue. It just kinda made me not like it xD.

yeah well thats preference, i would go with the amd 5800k apu though it would be perfect there. What are you using for a video card? You dont need such a nice case either but thats no big deal really

You' probably be fine with something along the lines of a G530 or an A4, anything more is really overkill given his usage. You'll see a larger performance increase (from his perspective) by adding an SSD instead, which would improve general responsiveness and such. A CPU cooler is only really necessary for overclocking too, at stock settings the stock heatsink is fine.

Also, cheaper, newer HDD.

The only thing I have to say, Is I want it powerful. My fathers like to have the best so an a10 is the best in his price range.
