OK I have 250$, you people tell me what to buy with it.
Only stuff from newegg, and no SATA connections.
just select a fan, motherboard, and a cpu.
And remember m using this case:  

It's a mid tower.

Um..what's wrong with SATA? You can't get a motherboard without SATA anymore can you?

 
You're not going to get much for just $250.
 
Asus mobo with AMD 780G chipset: $100

This will give you a pretty good onboard graphics setup and a pci-e slot should you want to upgrade to better graphics in the future.
 
AMD Athlon X2 4850e: $90
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103255
Very low power consumption. Includes fan.
 
Use the other $60 for some new memory or a SATA hard drive.

 
Probably not. I think what the OP was getting at was that they wanted a mobo that would allow him to use IDE / ATA hdd's instead of just SATA ones.

Pretty sweet how you modded that case to look like an old Gateway.  The Win98/ME sticker and 'Intel Inside' sticker look authentic enough to be real.

The only reason I say no SATA connections is because i don't want to buy another HD and I love my 500GB that i have in my computer now  
rsetter1 thanks but will i be able to use my HD?

Meh after sumone broke in my house and **** up my old case I didnt really have no choice but to use this one XD

Yes, the motherboard has the connector you need for your HDD.

well hats off to you kind sir.
P.S. You forgot to suggest a fan/heat sink lol.

 
No he didn't, the CPU comes with one.

Educate yourself about handling PC components and proper assembly of
your new computer before you even receive the components.
Be smart.  You want to have a good experience not a smoking mess.
...Right?

Ummmm, what does that got to do with this topic? I know how to assemble a computer, I'm just making sure of everything so I dont waste anymore more money.

@Mufferin: I believe that rsetter was just being proactive and thorough, not insinuating you were not competent at building a computer or being rude....
Suggesting one familiarize one's self with building anything has its place in EVERY topic... ;-)

I wasnt trying to sound angry (Sorry If I did) I must have just misunderstood him. But yeah I know how to assemble a computer.  
And someone said that the cpu comes with a fan/heat sink?
I didn't see it anywhere O_o

It's a "retail" box - all the retail box AMDs (excepting some black editions) come with heatsink + fan.

Oh i see, thanks for telling me.

Make sure that case has a detachable backplate for the USB/audio/KB/mouse and all that... Ever case I've worked with that looks like that doesn't have a removable backplate, it has one built in that is part of the rest of the case.  If thats what you have going on, it will be hard to find a mobo that will work in it.

Honestly though on memory, since your on a budget you could probably shave 15-20 bucks if you go with something like Wintec AMPO memory.  It's cheap buts seems ok for being on budgets.  For video, do you plan to game or what?  If so you can get a superclocked 8800gs for a little over 100 shipped if you want to splurge a little.  That said though, those 780 boards are supposed to have decent graphics.
