Ok so i've finally decided to give this custom pc building thing a try. I've come up with a build that i like. Its cheap and seems powerful enough to handle most games. My current laptop has a Core Due T2500 (2.0GHz) and that feels fine for me, so I think that the cheaper amd alternative to a core 2 duo will be ok for me. Here is the build, tell me if there are compatibility issues or if there is a part that could be improved upon .
