Default Very Budget Build Help
My friend needs a build for source games and simulators. His budget is around $300.
Here is a list of what he has and needs:

He has:
-Monitor (He has one but I don't know the size)
-HDD (I will give him a 500gb WD green)
-Case (I will make him a MDF tech station)
-Ram (I will give him 2 GB DDR2 for now)
-Video Card ( I will give him my old Radeon card for now)
-Disk Drive ( I will give him my exta)

He Needs:
-OS (No office software needed)
-Mobo
-CPU
-PSU

Though $300 is the limit for the components he doesn't have, the cheaper the better, that way he will be able to replace the crappy components I am lending him.

Have you considered going with an Atom 330 or an Ion?

-CPU
-Other stuff I might be forgetting (I will edit when I think of stuff)

The reason I posted a thread for this is that I don't know if AMD or Intel would be best for this build. If AMD then I have no idea about the CPU or Mobo.

Though $300 is the limit for the components he doesn't have, the cheaper the better, that way he will be able to replace the crappy components I am lending him.
OS - 32bit Vista basic ( http://www.overclock.net/software/60...um-32-bit.html )
Mobo - AM2+/AM3 (Something not so dissimilar to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138156)
CPU - Phenom II x2 545 or Athlon II x3 425

Only thing you're missing is PSU. Go with a Ultra LS600 or something.

For OS, see if you can use WINE to emulate source games in a Linux Distro. Or, a student copy of Windows 7 if he is a student, that is.

I love how most of the recommendations have been AMD even though this is posted under "Intel"

AMD is slightly ahead in the budget department right now IMO... but.. since you insist...


Mobo: Biostar G31E-M7 - $45 shipped
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138145

CPU: E6300 - $81 shipped
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116091

Rest can be spent on OS, and maybe PSU if needed, if no PSU you could get a nicer board. Next real step up will cost about $150 from the E6300 for Intel.
