I <3 APU systems with cheap ram and a 500gb HDDs for cheap business builds and HTPCs (Although I'd love to get a fully functional media OS working on one of my Raspberry Pi units which may be the new HTPC for me.)
For cheap gaming builds though I usually prefer I3s with middle range GPUs unless the client is deadset on getting a phenom II.
And for larger budgets it's always an i5 or i7 unlocked core.
