My parents are going to pay for me to build a couple of computers after I graduate. They want me to build them a system for them that will do what they want, aka, the basic desktop setup. They're not enthusiasts like I am, so I'll be able to build them a good, working system with OS for under 700 dollars. And for college, they're going to fully pay for the parts for a computer for me.

Here's my current set up that I want:

EDIT: I haven't chosen a monitor yet because I'm still looking around, but I'm taking into account between 150 to 300 for one.

I looked for Aluminum cases originally, but I saw how good the airflow looked for the Antec 900 and how many people had purchased it. I'm planning on using large, aftermarket heatsinks that'll require alot of air flow, too.
