for fun sake I tried to see what 100$ could get you:

Best I could come up with:

CPU: AMD Athlon 5150 Kabini Quad-Core 1.6 GHz ~40$ (comes with cooler)
MB: ASRock AM1B-M ~26$
Ram: Team Elite 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 (1600) ~16$
case+psu: APEX TM-302-3 Black /w 300w PSU ~39$
HDD: Western Digital Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0 ~44$

=

Total of 165$

But with a rig like this, he could atleast play Minecraft and even stuff like Skyrim @low res/setting.
He would have 500gb of storage, use less power ($ saved), have USB3.

 

a Kabini 5150 @stock values with DDR3 1600, can run League of Legends at 1280x720 and get 35+ fps.

Meaning you could do some light weight gameing on this thing. Which I doubt the PC you bought can.
