So I've been mulling over whether or not to build a new computer. It would be for gaming, and extremely low budget.
My plan would be to keep my 5770 from my current comp, but pretty much build everything else from scratch.
Because I want my budget to be less than $500 (and honestly as low as possible), I was looking on craigslist for some used parts.
I found this i5-2400s for $100, and I was thinking about getting it and building around that

I know that the "S" means it's low power and so not ideal for gaming, but do you guys think it would handle most games?
And is it a good deal? It seems like it to me anyway.
I'm pretty unsure on what to do here, so I'm looking for opinions on the i5-2400s for $100 deal, and if you guys think it's a good deal, I'm interested in opinions on how to finish a build around it.
It would be for gaming, and I am mainly looking for low price and if possible upgradability.
I already have a monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc
