Pair it with a nice IPS display like this one (non-glossy screen, flicker-free backlight) : http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VX2263SMHL-W-22-Inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B00K7CMY8C
And another 20$ for the keyboard + mouse.

If there's a microcenter near you, they have some great bundles :

Thanks for the reply. Sadly that config has 100$ worth of storage which I don't need which means the entire config isn't of much use as I can use that 100$ on better parts.

Don't have a microcenter near me sadly.
