Well, I'm turning to the community that could help me find parts for a $150 office PC. No gaming, no heavy animation: just office work.

 

I have a a 320GB seagate barracuda hard drive, a seasonic ss 300W powersupply 80+ bronze, and 1x4 GB kingston hyperx RAM.

 All I need is a cheap dual-core processor, a motherboard, and a small case. 

I won't be putting any load on this PC. I'll simply be browsing the web, sending e-mails, and typing letters or essays on MS word.

 

Any suggestions?

You could also add a 35$ SSD to make the whole thing snappier if you like

Hey looking good! I'll keep this thread still open for answers for a little while longer. Price is perfectly fine, though. =)
