computer parts - SSD, MB, CPU

looking to upgrade (nothing crazy). maybe a phenom CPU or something similar. dont need a case, dvd drive etc. not looking to break the bank. used is ok as long as it works. let me know what you got.

I recently bought a bundle kit from newegg to build a computer for my parents. as follows:

ASUS Model DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS 24X DVD Burner - Newegg.com

Seagate Desktop HDD ST500DM002 500GB N/A 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - Newegg.com

G.SKILL Value Series 4GB DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT - Newegg.com

AMD Athlon II X3 450 - Athlon II X3 Rana Triple-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - ADX450WFGMBOX - Newegg.com

BIOSTAR A880G+ AM3 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Newegg.com

Also a case and power supply… It came to about 240 dollars and it’s more than they will ever need it for (internet, email, digital photo albums).

My suggestion is to just watch around and go new.

If you want to try out SSD, you could probably just go with sata II:

I know you said you don’t want a case or anything but I have a pretty nice build up for sale for what I think is a great price… take a look and PM me if you’re interested.

yeh, thats way more than i want to spend. thanks though

Ive got a 1yr old AMD Athlon x3 435 that i’ll let go pretty cheap, comes with the stock heatsink and fan. With the right motherboard you can unlock this CPU to be a quad core. PM if your interested.
