Step one: Find old desktop computer (2004 or later) that you're willing to gut. (Should also have a monitor and accessories)
Step two: Remove everything except the optical drive/disk reader.
Step Three: Install new Parts.
Step Four: Refurbished computer complete

You'll need an OS though.

It will run extremely well for his purposes, $220.

EDIT:
my budget is less than his, but my build is going to be spaced over a few years.

just saying but pecon's build is still better
and it's actually IN HIS BUDGET

[GEN.Fire Bird]

all he has to do to get the one i built, is save up $50-$60

He would have to save over $100, given that he already has $250.

HEADS UP: Phenom II > Athlon II, AMD 770 > NVIDIA 6150, (and god forbid) Logisys > Apex
Also, you picked the wrong form factor PSU. You clearly know what you're talking about.
Please, let the people who know what they're talking about handle this.

[GEN.Fire Bird]

oh, he would need to save an exact $123.75 USD

price went up a little for the right form factor PSU.

[KoopaScooper]
