Well considering that the fastest non-overclocking i5 is 188$ right now then I would grab it.

Hmmm. Do you think an upgrade to a low-ish level i5 would be worth the extra $50-70?

It also doesn't include an OS, so that's another $90 you'll have to spend. As you can see, my build also includes higher quality parts.
This is what you should really be getting with that budget.

If you wanted to overclock, then a Pentium would be your best option.
