My brother is about to buy a $300 sempron at BestBuy.
I told him I can build him something better than that.

I have several old PC's around & a pretty good 350watt psu & copy of XP.
What is a good mobo/cpu/ram/videocard combo for less than $300?
Wanted it to use an videocard verus integrated video so hopeful it would run some games.

Thanks for any suggestions.

This won't be a super system, but try this:

http://promotions.newegg.com/AMD/b [...] index.html

The bundle price with the RAM is $141...

And:

7600GT for $79 after MIR

That might work for your bro, better than a sempron....

$300 @ Best Buy will probably come with 512 meg of RAM and no vid card, so get him another 512 and/or 7600GT for Christmas instead ;)
