Building a cheap NAS for home use

By wireless solution I meant, Do you have a wireless router attached to your home network allowing you connect to your current internet via WiFi?
If not, investing in one of these would be worth your while, perhaps something like this - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7RD3E91290&cm_re=Wireless_Router-_-33-704-265-_-Product

If you're planning to use your current PC later on as a NAS, and you don't feel secondhand is for you, it makes it difficult to recommend a build, as anything I try and do for under $300 will likely come out equally as powerful, or more, than that Core i3 2120, making one system redundant.

This system is actually slightly more powerful than your current system.
You could also consider a prebuilt NAS like this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822165611 combined with the wireless router I listed above, which would solve your criteria.
