Which components do you already possess in your list? At the very least it sounds like you haven't got the motherboard. I ask because if you have to get the motherboard, CPU and RAM it might be an option to post your budget to see what new components are viable. Otherwise you'd just be building a new PC with older technology.

So effectively you're limited to using DDR3 RAM for budget purposes, correct?

There's not a great deal of difference between the two CPUs you first mentioned, 0.2GHz for both base and max clockspeeds. Whether that is worth the $10 difference... only if there's a real benefit. I don't think there's enough of a difference, but then it isn't a large sum either.
