consider this for CPU&MOBO: nVidia mobo w/ Celeron

i do advise you not to get a celeron, but since it's the cheapest, i guess it'll do.

And get this, you won't even be able to sell your case to him, unless it's pimped our or something. case&PSU for 10 bucks ;)

thank me later. best of luck.

oh, and speakers
 
Well, I actually interested in selling him my old case :)....
I already sold him my last old case...
Well they not old.. I just gut them for free. The first one and this one I thinking to sell again.

PS... I need mobo with onboard video ..
 
Mobo: I am currently using it, and its reallyh good, and w/ a pci-e slot, which i already took advantage of.

CPU:Using the 3200+, its great, sure 3000+ is good as well http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103537

PSU: great, reliable(im using it) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104953

speakers: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836121129

total: 234 w/o ship and handling.. You could go for a cheaper mobo, up to you, but that biostar is a great mobo. Stay away from celeron/intel.
 
I would say go with a setup like Ksingler posted above me. I was putting together something very similar but he beat me too it. ;) Mobo looks fine, the psu is recommened quite often, cpu is great. If you have abit money left over or manage to scrap some up, get the Logitech X-530 speakers. I have them and i like them alot. :)
 
I have them too bleak, they are very very nice! Great bass too! Forgot to add, im using that power supply too, it hasnt given any problems, great psu.
