FYI: Newegg is currently running a combo special on the Athlon II X3 435 + Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P mobo. That's an extremely solid CPU + mobo combo for just $135 (minus an extra $10 MIR).
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
