Gaming/Regular use
Alright im in a computers class and its time to build a computer. I already have a 160GB Hard drive, a cd burner, and this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811208008. Video card and operating system will come with time. I need to know a good motherboard/prosessor/ram combo to go with the computer. The games I play are battlefield/world of warcraft/counter strike source so I would like the motherboard to meet 1.8ghz's and 512mb of ram or higher. Also it would be nice if it was less than 200$.
Thanks in advance, Stephen |

That is a pretty tight budget, I would go with this processor and RAM to leave some cash for a motherboard.
AMD Athlon 64 3200+: $75.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103535 Kingston ValueRAM 512MB (2x256MB): $54.49 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820141433 Total comes to $130 with cash left over for a motherboard. Or maybe even a better processor.

Well something that is socket 939, has a PCI-E slot (assuming you dont already own a video card) and it should integrated video if you are planning on buying the GPU later on. I dont have time to go look now.

Why not go with a sempron,aren't they cheaper and they can decently game and be used for average use,but if the athlons work well into the budget then scratch what i said.
EDIT:That cpu is OEM and that graphic card is horrid.
