Intel Celeron E1400

The Intel Celeron E1400 offers 2 cores and 4 threads. Clocks run from 2GHz base to 2GHz boost. It drops into the LGA775 socket with a 65W TDP — about 32.5W per core. Board socket comes first when pairing parts — after that, make sure your cooler's rating covers the chip.

Its $75.10 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to keep a running tally of the cost.
