Hello Experts,

Intel Core 2 Quad q9400 $59

he has $70 and already a setup for LGA 775 build .. only the processor is needed..

Yes, but it's not going to do modern games full out without a great video card, and too good a card, it will bottleneck the CPU. People spend $200-$300 on a good CPU for gaming nowadays, don't expect miracles for $28-59.
