I built a 800 buck AMD build. For CPU/Mobo combo I would reccomend Sempron3100+/ASUS K8N mobo. This is a great setup and is only 218 shipped from newegg.

You can get a 754 socket mobo and the 754 socket Sempron 3100+ for less total then that socket A mobo and Cpu... so I cant reccomend that setup coolguy heh. Yes the sempron3100+ is better then all socket A cpu's.

how much cheaper? And he said he wanted a AMD system. And this a pretty good setup for under 800 and he can play any game on the market even if he doesnt want to.
