AMD's much better for gaming then Pentum for is.

MSI K8N Neo-4
AMD 64 3700+
2x1GB Corsair Value Select

youll be going AMD not intel, with either a MSI or DFI board.

And a 450 Watt fortron PSU.

Then itll be a gamming machine.

An Athlon 4000+ may be a good choice for now as it is one of the best gaming CPUs available however if you want to future proof your system then you will want a dual core CPU as games will be taking advantage of them soon. I would recommend a X2 3800+ as this is about the same price of the 4000+ and it will still run any game out at the moment with maxed settings if you have a decent video card.

 

[Ridlyn]

yes the X2 3800+ will wipe the floor with the 4000+ when the new engines coming start being optimized for dual core.

Killerfetish: Biostar and eVGA are not good motherboard brand names. Stick with Either MSI, DFI or Gigabyte. If you plan On overclocking you will not want Value select RAM. Maxtor Harddrive are not the best in reliability, Stick to Seagate Or western Digital.

Now, Using a power supply that comes with the Case is a VERY! BAD! idea. Now, since you want to stay cheap. This power supply is very good and also Cheap.

We are only trying to help, yet you seem to ignore my suggestions. Even if you are on budget you can go cheaper in the optical drive and case Area to make up for these better parts that will preform better then what you listed. For exact parts and links PM Pzero he loves building computers. Looks of a computer don't really matter, what does matter is how it preforms the tasks you want it to do which is gamming.

Why it matters what you buy and why I care: Because if you go ahead and ignore my suggestions along with others, I will not help you when you post back because the "came with case Power supply" died on you and took some crap with it. Or the computer doesn't preform as well as you expected because you bought crappy parts in the first Place. If you want a computer thats good don't buy shitty parts.
