Default cheapest AMD budget build

Looking for the cheapest build that can play CSS,BF2, BF2142,TF2 and a bit of CODMW2. Looking for the cheapest build possible. Just need the main components no monitor,case etc.

Thanks!

Edit: I think my limit is $650

DEFINITELY go for a 550BE and unlock it. Just make sure your motherboard has ACC....

^ black edition Phenom II and that board has ACC to try to unlock other cores. for little more than $200. All you need is a powersupply if you don't have one yet.

GPU is up to you, but you can use the one on the mother board (4200) to probably play something and upgrade to a 5770 later!

The 550 is a great CPU even if you don't unlock it. You can OC and it runs sweet. To unlock you need a MB with a 790 chipset.

But I have to say I had a unlock able 550 and compared to the 965 Quad I got there is not comparison. It rips up ARMA2 with my set up and several other games I play with the system I have. But the 550 still kicked azz as a dual. Not all 550's unlock, so if you get one, get it because it is a kick but dual, and if it unlocks it is a bonus.

Edit: When I say 550, I meant the 550 BE, easier to OC. You can set the multiplier to 17.5 or 18 and i will zoom along.
