Best AMD cpu for a $500 or less system?

I'm trying to help my nephew put together a system. He cant afford a core 2 duo system so I said he should go AMD.

Is there a specific Athlon thats a favorite? I dont think he needs the x2 series but if its cheap enough it wouldnt hurt.

Any suggestions on a cheap mobo to pair this up with as well?

Thanks


 
x2 3800+ is $148 at zipzoomfly.com and pair that with a cheap mobo (say $100).

For the ultra cheap a single core 3500+ is like $90
