I'm not looking to build a gamig computer or anything. Just a cheap desktop for a project to work ons4in7 is correct. You can't buy a CPU, motherboard, memory, PSU and case for $110. A used PC is your only option and you may be able to find an inexpensise one without a hard disk.

I think it's impossible to get a CPU, Motherboard, RAM, GPU (unless you use integrated graphics or an AMD APU), case, PSU, OS and monitor for $110... You should get more money.
This is the CHEAPEST build I could get you:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Celeron E3200 2.4GHz Dual-Core Processor ($20.95 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Intel DQ45EK Mini ITX LGA775 Motherboard ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Kingston ValueRAM 1GB (1 x 1GB) DDR2-667 Memory ($14.98 @ Amazon)
Case: Xigmatek Recon ATX Mid Tower Case ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Raidmax 380W ATX Power Supply ($11.98 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.98 @ OutletPC)
Monitor: Hannspree HL161ABB 15.6" Monitor ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $307.86
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

He also needs a monitor and an OS. The only parts he doesn't need are HDD and Optical Drive.

It will work... Just very slowly... If you can save money, do it. You'll regret buying this PC in a year because it's not upgradeable at all.

There are many factors but let me ask you this. Why can't you wait a bit more for some more cash? You'll benefit in the long run if you save money and then purchase. Even GPU miners will outperform this low end of a build just sayin.I am just doing this for a small project. I already have a better main computer that I use.
Does this motherboard come with a integrated graphics card or do I have to buy one?

would it be worth buying a really cheap desktop like this and slowly upgrading it?

I think your original build is better, you won't be able to upgrade much on that Dell because of its size and age.
With the parts you've picked out, you can upgrade the RAM, and possibly the CPU (although not to a very good one, you won't want to put an i3 on a $40 board). You can possibly add a low-power video card too.

Thanks. Would this motherboard be any good to build from or is it just junk?

You'd have to get a really thin graphics cards and you'd also probably have to upgrade the power supply to get a new graphics card.

Don't buy that like we have stated in the pasts. You don't have any upgrade path with that. I honestly don't know why you can't save money but just keep going with the AMD sempron build......

No it does not include a PSU. Expect another $40 added into costs for a quality psu.
