or another option,the difference between the e2140 and the 3800+ at stock speeds is small, this might even perform better. the motherboard is micro-atx so the number of expansion slots is small.

if you don't want to overclock then get an athlon x2 5000 or summit, 2 gb of 667mhz ram, and the cheapest AM2 mobo you can find. wills spec is better though if you want to oc.
