Hi Tim, Could you give a bit more information as to what you'd like to use it for? Since a multimedia pc will definitely use some different parts compared to a gaming pc etc.
 
its just an office setup, but need the best value components for that price. Thought it would be nice to get some of the communities input.
 
I would've suggested the following if most of the motherboards wasn't out of stock:
Intel DH67BL LGA1155 Intel H67 Micro-ATX Integrated CPU Graphics Capable Desktop Motherboard @ R977 * Out of stock
Core i3 2100 3.1GHz LAGA1155 32nm Dual-Core @ R1204
Corsair Value Select 2x2GB DDR3-1333 @ R465
Samsung EcoGreen F2 1TB 3.5" SATA2 Internal Hard Drive @ R545
MUKii Asroc Plus Asc-470AS - 470W Power Supply (12v: 336W) @ R465
Total: R3,656 (incl VAT, but excl shipping)

Please note that the above rig does NOT include a Case, because you haven't mentioned that we should include one...

Now you'll probably have to go for like a Core i3 540 and a motherboard with integrated DVI+HDMI, which should actually cost slightly less.

eg.
Intel Core i3 540 3.06GHz LGA1156 32nm Dual-Core @ R981 * Contact for availability
Intel H55HC LGA1156 Intel H55 @ R908
