Free delivery Sempron is AMD budget processor but tests show it performs well. Looks like a decent buy if you dont need high end gaming.

Your links aren't working - you don't need the https at the front as the site automatically includes them. The AMD 3100+ has been described as the best bang for the buck processor out there.
