Anything using a low power sempron with a good onboard card will do the job.
My bro built some time ago a pc like this:

AsRock motherboard with chipset nForce 400 (GF 6150) - 30 bucks, maybe
Sempron LE 1150 (2.0ghz, kicks some pentium 4 ass) - should be around 40 bucks
1 or 2 gb ddr2 ram, your choice. - 15 to 40 bucks

You have plenty of cash left for the case + power supply + dvd + hard drive.
Does the computer on the link come with a screen?

Size might be a problem.

frys had a combo yesterday Amd Phenom 7800 with motherboard for like 108 bucks.. But this should go on the offtopic or general forum

I was just guessing some prices... btw, that's a damn cheap combo.

I just want to build a basic pc for web browsing and stuff like that. I only have 300$.Can someone please recommend a build between 250$-300$

edit: I was thinking about buying http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=171124 but i wanted to see if you guys could figure out how to build a better build or one that can be overclocked for around 300$

I like that build. I liked it so much that I built a system around it a while ago.

I use it mainly as a local host. Use it sometimes to read email, web surf and also let the kids use it to play Flash based internet games. I would not OC it though, so if that is not a problem for you then you should give it a shot (or the Dual Core version) as they are pretty cheap and the performance is perhaps better than the older Pentium 4 / Athlon XP CPUs.

I'll go for Asus Motherboard with Nforce 750a Am2+ and Geforce 8300 chipset and HDMI output(65$) + Athlon 64x2 6400+ (3.2ghz 55$) + 2 Gigs of ddr2 800 (30$) + Hard drive 250gb (40$) + Blu ray / DVD burner Drive (60$) + Case and Power (50$)

[cmccmc]

hmm I think i made a decision

[krypking]

i hear the gears grinding, whats that smell?

[cmccmc]

I'm going to build the pc listed in my post, then in about 4 months upgrade the power supply

Any recommendations? needs to be between 400-500w
