If they really want cheap, then an AMD APU is going to be the way to go. I can't post links to ebay right now, but also get at least 1600mhz RAM, because the APUs respond very well to higher RAM frequencies, and 1600mhz is still cheap.

I don't really know much about the budget AMD motherboards, so I won't comment on those.

When you say slight gaming, what kind of games are you talking about?

Like, browser based flash games on Facebook? Or actual games like Battlefield 3 or Starcraft 2?
