$100 is not enough to buy anything new, you'll be looking at pre-builts on Ebay that have an i5 2400 or 2500.

you can get a cheap prebuilt on ebay for that thats not crap at least

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

"intel Haswell 2 cores / 4 threads @ 2.5Ghz or equivalent" how much does this go for?

 

No buy a pre-built on Ebay that has either an i5 2400 or 2500.

He can't buy a GPU for $10.  Not one that's stronger than the iGPU.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

ill have to look into stuff i mean i can get a motherboard for 60 then a cpu for $40 its not gonna play games but its gonna operate and thats fine with me until i get money to upgrade it

It's not going to operate.  You still need storage and a power supply, and possibly a cooler if the CPU you buy doesn't have one.
