Hello all, I'm in need of a computer build, my budget is 600 to 900 dollars. What I'll be using this computer for is simple word processing, Garry's Mod, surfing the web, and other simple computer functions oh and also all the games that I need for Garry's Mod such as: CS:S, HL1, HL2, HL Episode One, HL Episode Two, HL Deathmatch, Portal, TF2, etc. that is if you know what Garry's Mod is, if not look here. Anyway I only want an Intel Pentium processor I don't want a fancy Core 2 Duo or Quad, and I also only want a DX9 Higherish end card. I need absolutely everything included in this build such as: moniter, only sound card if Mobo doesn't have a decent built-in audio, thermal paste, CPU fan, etc. you get my point. I'm pretty sure I've gotten my point down so I should stop rambling about now, thanks in advance and lets see those builds :D!

Beatem445: Pentiums don't exist anymore. Intel got rid of them a while ago and replaced them with the Core 2 Duo line, even one's that say they are Pentium's are just Core 2 Duo's with some cache disabled. That's it.
 
i can do a build for you, but i recommend a dual core, pentium's are not worth it anymore.

I'll post back later with something.

They have some other features, such as VT, disabled as well. But as said there, Pentiums are just a brand name for lower-end Core2Duo CPUs.
