So after some more research, I came up with this build for a Group 6 build (more like a 5+ build).
My main concern is the dedicated graphics card. Seems overkill if I am not looking to do any modern gaming.
Anyways, if no one sees anything too pressing, I'll probably go ahead and order this tomorrow. Give me a project over the long weekend.

All that being said, that total is around $900. I feel like that is too much for a lower end G6 build. Hence my coming back for review from the pros. I'm completely open to ideas, so don't hold back. I'd rather take a few on the chin here than realize I went overkill and killed the bank.
