It depends what you want it for really. You can get really cheap PICs with very few pins/functions or you can use something like an Arduino if you want something that has a large educational following. These processors are not true microprocessors of course but again it depends on what you are really looking to do.

 

It's possible he is looking for a microcontroller.

Nobody would bother with an obsolete microprocessor these days. Why would you want the hassle of assembling multiple chips to make it compute when you could just use one chip?

 

Psst. I can sell you 8031 chips + static RAM + FLASH ROM for reaaaaly low price.

I recomend to you the Arduino IDE.
