Budget build question.

[Ghostless]

I need a gaming tower that will run 1999 Everquest.I am going to buy the Llano a4-3300 duel core 2.5 ghz since it comes with a good gpu run Everquest.I need advice on cpu cooler,tower,hard drive,24xcd drive,power supply,sound card.My budget is 300 to 500 bucks.

No need for a sound card. For such a low budget and such a weak-required game, just get any recent prebuilt desktop.

I know that. But good LGA 1155 Motherboards for $53?

Just reuse an HDD and you can get the G630 and an ASUS P8H61.
