My mothers computer's having issues starting, and I do believe it's the power supply. Being the most techy guy in the whole house, Me and my mom agreed that it's time to get a "new" pc. The one she's been using has been a Frankenstein of my own creation, using parts up to 15 years to 8 years old. Seriously. It's good for what she uses it for, I guess. But why build a computer without making a little bit of an upgrade?
My budget is, however, restricted. My mom wants to just pay 50 dollars max, but I realize that it's too much of a restriction. So, I'll give her 80 bucks. The budget is around 130 bucks. Think it's possible?
I'm willing to reuse some of the components to save money, so here they are.
Emachine case- Tower ff? Not the best, but it's sturdy.
AMD 64 Athlon processor (2.2 GHz)
Old ass 3dfx voodoo video card from 1999 with no model name or number
Old hipro 300w psu
Seagate barracuda 80GB HDD
Some random scrap Disc drives
1GB DDR SDRAM, 400.0 MHz, PC3200, DIMM 184-pin
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (RS482)
Blue- Would like to keep in order to save money, but not necessary
Green- Would love to upgrade
Red- Must change
I'm willing to go up to 150 dollars, but that's my MAX
So what can we do here, gentlemen? Many thanks in advance

| Unless you want to use the computer yourself I suggest getting her a laptop. Parents rarely need all the extras I'm sure she would be content, plus it would be a lot less work on your part than building a pc.

If it's the power supply you think is the problem why the fuck didn't you list that as red?
Motherboard that is compatible with your processor (no clue if it's compatible with your "no-name" graphics card)
Power supply that isn't Chinese fireworks.
