Generic PSU and freebie MoBo are two good ways to ask for trouble with any build, regardless of how cheap you want to go.
Most of the freebie MoBos won't even overclock, and unless we're in Bizarro Land, I'm pretty sure an E5200/ 2.5ghz Dual Core doesn't have better processing power than either the 3.2ghz CBE or the 3.2ghz tri core Xenon.
E5200; easily the best Dual Core for overclocking on a shoestring budget, but not on a POS MoBo, and preferably not in a small enclosure without adequate active cooling (fans) on a stock CPU HSF. These are just common sense things every builder knows.
But for the sake of argument, it should still run Fallout 3, assuming no RMA problems or lost deals (which most PC part deals are, being half the challenge in sourcing a build for the best price).
Now build me a fully operational PC for $199. The Xbox 360 Arcade will do that too.
