Hi, I'm looking to make a computer for around $100 not really over as I dont think that emulation software and games require a lot of CPU power. I am looking to get all my products brand new and on newegg. I dont want to spend a lot on the hard drive- definately not more than $30. I already have a stick of ram ~4GB so you dont need to include that in the part list but you can. Not looking to play much more than emulated games, maybe a bit of really old titles. I already have a 900p monitor and I definately dont mind playing games at lower resolutions, whether its because the game is just that old or for saving performance. You don't need to include an OS because- you know...Reply with ideas with pcpartpicker builds.

hey sorry for the late post here, but i may be able to help, as im trying to do the same. according to what ive seen the only real way to go is ebay used parts, as ive listed below. they arent super powerful, but i miagine they can handle some old games.
