Heres my new and updated build. I got even lower specs, but i really only want this to play CSS and NFSMW fairly well for a few months. It's almost identical to my previous Sempron build.

Gigabyte GA-K8U Socket 754 ATX Motherboard - $45

AMD Sempron64 2800+ Socket 754 1.8Ghz - $73

Total w/Shipping is: $324.60


Keep in mind that i already have a DVD Burner, DVD ROM, ATI 9600XT Video Card, Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, and Speakers.

Looks ok, are you planning on using stock cooling? Because you said you wanted to do some major overclocking.

Whats wrong with your Core Duo laptop?

Yes i am. And i was planning on doing major oc'ing with the 939 setup, but i just want to do some basic oc'in.

My laptops fine, but if i sell it i can buy a desktop thats around the same performance, a new mountain bike, new tires for my car, new sound system in my car, and i will still have money left over.

Lol, that's got to be one of the cheapest builds i've seen recently. I'd ditch the PC Chips motherboard in favour of something a little more reliable, though.

It did only have 3/5 stars on newegg:o

But the latest three were 5/5, and some guy said he oc'd his 2.13Ghz Celeron to 3.18Ghz with that board.

Most likely im going to be buying the parts on ebay, so i'll get a better mobo:

Celeron D 2.2-2.8Ghz - ~$40
80GB Hard Drive - ~$20
Motherboard - ~$15
512MB Memory - ~$15

For a grand total of ~$90 :P
