It's compatible, but then you already have a case, PSU and graphics card, so just better to get the rest.

CPU: i3 2100 $125
Mobo: ASRock H61M/U3S3 $69.99
Mem: 2x2GB 1.5V CAS9 1333/1600Mhz $28
DVD: Any 24x DVD writer at about $20
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB $59.99

That should work out fine.

Other two choices:

CPU: A6-3650 $119
Mobo: ASRock A75M FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) $75
With this one you don't really need to put in the video card.

CPU: Phenom II x4 955 BE $119
Mobo: Asrock 870 Extreme 3 R2.0 $91.99


All choices are below $350.

I like that combo .

They get an all new computer for $321
It even has a 880g motherboard so they can do parent things using the onboard video so you dont have to even use your spare graphics card

Have you factored in the cost of an operating system?

I have two copies of w7 professional forgot to mention that.
