OK......just finished an ultra-cheapie build--component list follows:

Athlon II X3 440 cpu
Biostar MCP6P M2+ motherboard
2GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 RAM
750GB SATA HD
Samsung 22X DVD-RW
Midtower case w/350W ps
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit


So far, total of $164 invested in the above.

Would a $35 ATI Radeon 4650 be a worthwhile "upgrade" for this admittedly light gaming/gen. purpose rig? It's currently using the onboard Nvidia GeForce 6150 video.
 
For light gaming yeah, itll beat the piss out of that built in GeForce 6150 for sure. As long as you really do mean light gaming as theres only 2gb of ram.
