Well front end could be easy for that price there are many sub 100$ pc now.
I see frys has deals on combos there was combo listed on slickdeals.net af
frys with amd cpu/ motherboard and case for 69.99 after rebate. I was able
to pickup amd cpu and motherboar from microcenter for 60$ and my case was
50$ from newegg.
You could get this

for $60 and get bigger hard drive for 60$ 2tb  and tunner card this wolud
make good back end.  I bet you could use firetv stick or tv for frontend or
