Ok, here's my proposed build.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
2x1Gb 667 DDR2 memory (sorry, the brand is written in exceptionally poor Chinese so I can't find the English name)
Hitatchi 7200rpm 160Gb HDD
Sapphire Radeon HD3850 256mb
Biostar NF520 motherboard
16x DVD-ROM drive
The biggest concern for me is if there's any significant bottleneck with this build. I'm mostly concerned with the CPU because the workers at the electronics market kept recommending a 5000+ but I felt like that might be a bit much given the GPU I'm going for (this rig only needs to last 1.5 years before I scrap it). I'm sure some of you might have some changes you'd like, but I'm really bound by what this local market offers and the prices they have- which can vary wildly than what you'd might expect. Also, while it might seem like I'm not putting a lot of muscle into this, at the current prices, this costs 2/3rds of my monthly salary...so it's a lot for me.
Also, how much power do you think I would need for this to play games on? The reason is, in their pricing, they only included a 300W PSU which seems....exceptionally too little.
