Micro ATX budget

[4870x2card]

Looking to get a micro ATX budget system but no idea what pieces and parts to get? i don't know whether to do Intel or AMD..... or Nvidia or ATI? but stuff like that i have a case already its a dell dimension b110 case. so any ideas or suggestions would help.

If I had a m-atx case and was looking for a budget system I'd get an amd llano. If you get say the a8-3850 or a8-3870 you get a good processor(quadcore) and a fair gpu in one. If you in addition add a 6670 amd card you can crossfire it and get a good boost for a low price.
