You should shop around more...especially when building a budget system:
For the deals that aren't @ NCIX, just tell them price match...Direct Canada is the same company anyways.

E5200 - $79.88 http://www.directcanada.com/products...ufacture=INTEL

GB GA-EG41M-US2H - $79.51 http://www.directcanada.com/products...cture=GIGABYTE

OCZ 2GB RAM - $19.99 (after $5 rebate)
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...2&promoid=1187

And here's a cheaper Acer 22" LCD for $179.99:

Easy $45 savings right there.


--------------------
Or if you don't mind going AMD, just go for the bundle roastpuff posted:
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...s&promoid=1187

$124.99 for mobo & CPU
+ $19.99 for RAM
+ $179.99 for Monitor
+$59.95 HDD
= $384.92

Opposed to your bundle (with the new prices i found) @ $419.32

The AMD will be more than enough for a light user.
