You could build a Haswell i5 system for that price.

If you can beat the overall system performance with an i5 at that price, then go for it. I built myself an i5 system, I've built tons of i5 systems. I don't know what to say to this. Of course, I only build with quality components unless someone flat out tells me to go for "more performance" with shittier stuff.
I don't have to use and MSI or ASUS board, but I don't like to. I don't have to use G.SKILL RAM. I don't have to use San Disk, PNY, or Crucial SSDs, but I dont' like to. I don't have to use Corsair Power Supplies when I can get others at half the price, but I don't like to.
If all someone does is cruise the internet and play solitaire, I'll happily install Ubuntu on an old P3 system for you.
