Get a Foxconn/Gigabyte G31/G35 board. Pair it up with a 3650, their like 40 bucks now. PSU a 350watt/400watt would do 2x1GB OCZ ram.

without an OS this is what i came up with.

mobo- Gigabyte G31 $56.99
cpu- E5200 ** COMBO PRICE WITH RAM **
ram- Corsair 2gig (2x1) ddr2 800 **CPU/RAM COMBO PRICE$93.98 after $30 MIR**
psu- Antec Earthwatts 430w $39.99
HD- Seagate 80gig 7200.10 $38.99
GPU- Asus 8600gt $57.99 after $20MIR *comes with alone in the dark for free*
Optical Drive- LiteOn Sata DVD Burner $21.99

Grand total after MIR and shipping = $330.71

If you want to save more money, put in the Asus 8500gt and subtract $20 from total.
