You don't need those ~$200 processors. Get him an Athlon II X4 620: 4 cores, $99 USD.

Get a 785G motherboard with Sideport (integrated memory for the motherboard's GPU). You should be able to get an Asrock (Asus) for about $60.

Use 4GB of ram, or even 8GB.

If budget permits, get a Phenom II X4 925 instead. Similar to the Athlon II but with full cache on each core.

Make sure to install 64 bit Windows 7

You'd be a fool to get an Intel in this price range. Those A-Power systems are stupid.
