So I recently finished my new gaming computer, and I decided Im going to try to build a super cheap pc to replace my old desktop from 08 that I brutally destoryed taking sata cables and drives out of to re-use and I need something to replace it.
So I basically recommendations on what I should use this time around. Im looking to keep this as cheap as possible. All I need is CPU (I was thinking pentium since its pretty cheap), MOBO, Power supply, Case, RAM (4GB is fine) and thats it. Now this budget is extremely low, I want to keep it below $290 as Im just wanting to replace a standard desktop. Oh and I dont need a GPU, I found 2 working XFX 5850s for $20 (Both of them) that I want to use in this. So yea Recommend some parts to me if you wish or not.

Thanks man, even though its over budget it should be fine. Plus Im not ordering for a little (Selling some old hardware and a ps3) so maybe when I order the prices will be lower. But yea guy on craigslist didn't know if they work and was selling them for $20 so I took the chance and bought them *If they don't work when I build this it wont be a big loss*
