Anywhere I can improve this and stay under budget?

I'm planning on trying to unlock the Sempron's second core, so a mobo I can do that with is required.

Have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and OS (Will be dual booting Windows XP and whatever Linux disk is on top of my pile) I can reuse.

Budget is $300 USD after shipping, this comes up to $295 after shipping.

Interesting, I was just looking for a <$300.00 computer. You may have just saved me some time. ;D

Also, switched mobo/cpu combo to this:

It's like $15 more, and I get a dual core no matter what. I'm going to try unlocking the quad, or at least tri.

if you had to throw a cheap gpu on that, keeping it at least under 350/375 which one would you use?

4670 or 4850 no doubt.

Aren't both of those cards still retailed over $100

4670 is like $70, and 4850 is right at $100

Tom, be honest I might even recommend a 9600 GSO in this case. I know it's NVidia, and I don't normally do that. But the 9600 GSO isn't a terrible card in terms of bang of buck at the price point you're asking. :P

Found an old hard drive, so I have extra money to buy a decent GPU instead of using the HD2400 I had in a box.

I'm thinking this will be my final build.

Any objections?

Yeah, that case is ugly

I know, but I can deal with an ugly case if it means I get it and a PSU for $99.99 off.

I would honestly recommend a 9600 GSO in this case. :P

Not that your build isn't good, but NVidia actually owns the bang for buck at this price point with the GSO. The 9600 GSO will beat out the 4670 in many cases. The only real advantage the 4650 has over the 9600 GSO is the size of form factor and power consumption.

Yeah, I looked up some benchmarks earlier today, and they made up my mind (along with the case/psu combo coming with a 600w). Getting a 9600 GSO for this. Also found a similar case/PSU combo with a much less ugly case.

Lol@pun

I see no pun.

That's not a pun. At all.
