[Solved] VERY Cheap Gaming Build?

Hello! Back in June I was planning to build a PC for a bit under $1000, and had it all planned out thanks to this forum, but...I ran into some problems and ended up with no money left to afford it.

Now, I've come back looking for help on a new build. All the computer needs to do is run Starcraft 2 at minimum settings, as cheaply as possible. Emphasis on the "cheaply as possible".

------------------------------------------------
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP (as in the next few weeks, if I have to wait more than that then I'll just wait until Christmas when I'll have a bit more money to work with)

Budget Range: $300? $400? Something like that. Like I said, it needs to be as cheap as possible. If it can't be done for such little money, then that's too bad for me and I'll have to wait until December.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Starcraft 2 at minimum settings.

Parts Not Required: Memory (already have 4GB of G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600), case (already have Cooler Master HAF 932), keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg Canada, TigerDirect, CanadaComputers.

Country of Origin: Canada

Parts Preferences: None.

Overclocking: Not unless necessary.

SLI or Crossfire: Not unless necessary.

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080


Thanks

cpu mobo combo

^The only problem I have with that build is the mobo is AM3, not AM3+, so it's a dead-end. It also does not support SATA 6Gb/s or USB 3.0.

Thanks for all the build suggestions everyone!

jtt283, I planned on this computer being something to last me about 4-6 months, at which point I will build something new that will be much more upgrade-friendly with a much larger budget.

So would adding $20 for a better mobo actually be worth it in this case? I was actually going to ask if it was possible to downgrade the mobo and get something slightly cheaper

Yeah exactly, I'm building it as a "throwaway". And of course I'll be giving it to someone who will use of it! Perhaps my little sister so she can enjoy playing Sims with something better than 10 FPS at minimum settings, which is what she plays at. She says it doesn't bother her, but I'm sure she would enjoy the game more with a better computer

And that has dropped the price to just about $385. I may be able to get a free GPU from a friend, in which case the cost will be down to $310, which would be fantastic!

Thanks for all the advice so far!

I'd say that looks about right.

Well there's little difference between HDD in my opinion, however, if you chose a version that's been out for a while, I imagine horrendous failures should have been

a) ironed out
b) heavily publicised

@AstroTC Thanks, but I'd prefer running the game at minimum if it means I save more money
@ScrewySqrl The problem with that kit is that I'd have to spend money on a PSU (like jtt283 said), and I already have memory and a case. Thanks for the suggestion though.
@billybobser Thanks, do you have any specific recommendations?

Thanks. I hope you found similar prices at Newegg / Canada.
