This will be a pure budget build for my cousin, a secondary computer that will be used to browse the net and watch videos on the bedroom TV. To save money, I'm currently looking at AMD, mostly for the integrated GFX at a cheap price point. Below is what I'm looking at, but am open to suggestions or changes. Note that I still need a wireless mouse/keyboard combo (the adapter is easy, there's tons at ~$10):
$16.99 - SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner SATA Model SH-222BB/BEBE - OEM
$49.99 - NZXT Source 210 Elite Black Steel with painted interior ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ Black Front
$74.99 (-$10 Promo) - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
$59.99 - BIOSTAR A880GZ AM3+ AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
$44.99 (-$10 MIB) - CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 V2 (CMPSU-430CXV2) 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
$22.99 - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL
