Hello to everyone, after my first try at building a pc din't work out that great i have decided to try again. I did not have a big budget to work with hence i am just trying to get components 2nd hand i.e used by other people i know. As of now i have aqquired the following.
Case
Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BNA Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133137
PSU
Thermaltake 420W - TR2- 420W
http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?S=1172&ID=1537
THE CASE AND THE PSU TOGETHER COST $30
Memory
2x2GB PC3 8500 OCZ Gold Series - $15
Hard Drive
Seagate 7200.12 1TB - $50
DVD Drive
LG DVD-RW - $3
This is the part where i am stuck at. I am to buy a motherboard and CPU but i cannot exceed a total of $200, (personal budget problem ) Following are some of the offers/choices i have .
CPU
1.AMD X2 555 Black Edition CPU in original box with unused OEM heatsink- $65
The cores can be unlocked to make it a quad core.

2. Yet to decide....
Motherboard
1.MA790X-UD4P $40
Unlocks the AMD x2 555 to make it Quad Core(problem with this mobo is that it is DDR2 ram only so the ram sticks i have will go to waste and i will have to spend to get 3 GB DDR2 ram since i have 1 stick of 1gb DDR2 ram)

2. Yet to decide....
I have a monitor and all the necessary cables to hook up all components( SATA, VGA , power cords etc).
The lower you we can keep the cost of the mobo + cpu the better because then i can try and invest in a used ( i know i know ) Video Card
BFG 9800GT 512 MB -$30
Again, i don't really want to exceed the $200 mark. I will be using the PC for some gaming ( Dota 2, Fifa 13 , Batman)
Thank you for spending your time looking at this thread. I hope the great folks here can suggest something to help me out . Have a nice day.
