If it's really not for gaming, you can skip the GeForce.  The motherboard you want has Intel graphics onboard, which will work just fine for other uses.

Careful with that, although it's looks are wonderful, it was way to small for my hand. I had to bring it back.

If I were you I'd go for the Logitech VX revolution (way better for price, features and handle).

Oh and 88$ is way expensive.. I got mine at 40$ at the time.

@ Adeptus: Is the onboard graphics shared? If not, then I'll cross off the GeForce, because I'd like to have higher quality video etc. Plus it doesn't have DVI.

@ Adeptus albert (wtf?): I just Googled the VX Nano, and you're right, it's horribly small. VX Revolution looks way better. Thanks for pointing that out :P

It is Australian dollars remember, and everything is more expensive here (its $82 at my local computer store for example).

Get a E2160 instead if you want to save some money. http://www.computertarget.com.au/oscom/catalog/pr...1&products_id=1156

Anything under 2GHz is too slow for me, I've been stuck with 1.2GHz for a while now...

EDIT: Thanks dazzy :P

That CPU will be more than enough for shiTunes.
