i was thinking about an amd processor but i am not an amd guy i usually run intel but what amd processor should i buy that is around 100 dollars that gives the best proformance and has an integrated gpu or should i spend 20-30 dollars more and buy a sandy bridge core i3 CPU?

E-450. For sure. That's what it's for.

Don't think E-450 APU is released yet.

E-350 mobo/vga

CPU Type : AMD E-350 APU

Definately consider the E350 http://www.techreaction.net/2011/03/07/review-msi-brazos-e350ia-e45/

so if i buy this motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157247)

and 1600 ram will the ram still work with this?

I note that from responses above that MSI and ASrock products were linked. Personal experience: ECS formerly had nothing resembling customer service. Unless they've changed their ways, which I've not bothered to check lately, you'll have difficulty with RMAs in the event you get a DOA board. If ECS has determined to move away from the corporate mass-production of business client boards and is wanting to become a mainstream supplier I'll simply say that in the past I learned to avoid them.

Generally ram does not have to run at its' rated speed but can run slower. But for a board that is spec'd to run DDR3/800 and DDR3/1060 ram, I would not spend the extra to buy DDR3/1600 ram.

The "coming" E-450 is to run DDR3/1333 ram and is one of the changes to the newer E-450, but I have not seen it in retail yet.

All we are discussing here are inexpensive systems when fully decked out to run as a computer inside a case. The ITX boards are tiny. They have no room for a bunch of hard drives to be attached. Most go in cases that would fit up on a shelf in the tV room. MicroATX boards have more board real estate and can have a few more connections, but in neither situation would I have overclocking in mind. It is a buy for inexpensivtivity.

You started the post with/about a cheap0 AMD cpu and we are looking now at a system and that is what we have been talking about after about the second post in thread. Here is a cpu but with video and motherboard for that $100 you mentioned. There is not a lot of headroom in that situation.

Just FYI, the Zotac or Asus would be front-runners in my buying sights.

EDIT: I just went back to the first post and RE-read it. This was said in that first post >> "budget pc just to check email watch youtube brose the web run word and what not" << Well that what not can be the wheel that fell off. If 'what not' is related to any gaming, I would have my doubts about that being doable. If 'what not' is heavy duty video ripping and rendering, I would have my doubts about that being a good idea. Really inexpensive as we have set forth here, gives little room for an expanding/growing "what not". END EDIT.

i appreciate your long and thought out comment the what not would be like using MS office not gaming but maybe a flash game here or there but this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157247)motherboard can handle MW2 of the lowest settings and on low resolution.

here is the build so far

(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147131)

or

(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157247

how is it for that type of use

(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147131) << NOT sure since it has only confused me on whether it is 20 pin or really is a 24 pin because it is 20 pins plus the 4 pins to make a 24 pin ATX power connector.

or

(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153) << Don't think that case will fit mITX motherboard.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157247 << That mITX motherboard looks good.

how is it for that type of use

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148149<< If going for two sticks, then should be bought in a Dual Channel kit with two sticks to a package.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697<< Seems good enough.
