OK, so here's the deal. I want to build a computer for my girlfriend to surprise her. Now, she doesn't do a whole lot beyond web browsing, instant messaging/IRC, email, webcam, and occasionally using PSP, stuff like that. Since she doesn't need something uber-powerful, I was thinking of building in an Antec Aria or something similar, so it's somewhat portable.

Now, here is where you guys come in. I built this machine about a year and a half ago, so I'm sort of out of the loop on what the best components for building a system are. On top of that, the Aria is MicroATX, so I wouldn't know how to balance power and space/heat restrictions. Can anyone suggest all or part of a system I could build for her?

Thank you in advance. :)
 
I'd get a s754 sempron or something like that. They are sub-$100 processors but perform what you need it to do. Get a 90nm one since it will run cool at the speeds they are set to run at. Other than that, maybe the MSI Radeon Xpress board? Decent graphics for integrated ones and mATX too.
