    Asrock B85M-ITX $100
    Intel Pentium G3258 $77
    4GB Kingstom Value RAM $44

    aaaand the budget is blown.

    So $300 will be a realistic budget. Thanks

    Here's the best I could do

    Motherboard - $20.00
    2GB RAM - Included with Motherboard
    Intel G3258 - $77.00
    Shoebox, crudley cut into case shape - $0.00
    Fan/Cooling - $1.50
    1500w PSU - $0.99
    Gaming Graphics Card - $0.99

    Computer Monitor - $0.10
    Bulk buy of mice and keyboards - $6.00

    That leaves you with $93.42 to spend on the latest games and software!

      mb has M-Celeron cpu & 2gb ram, wont take the G from intel but like the cut of your jib.

    Be careful with that cpu, some motherboards aren't compatible without a bios update first, they don't even post!

    this is pretty simple maths isnt it?

    the CPU is $75

    can you get the rest with your budget? it helps if you have bits and bobs lying around like maybe a psu etc.

    If u don't play overclock that's no need to get a unlocked CPU
