At the moment there's no real reason not to get a Core 2 Duo ... and it should be easy to do it quite cheaply due how cheap RAM is at the moment.

As for the graphics card, i reccomend an nVidia 8800 GT 512Mb, which, in the UK at least, is the best bang for buck at the moment.

If i was going for a cheap PC right now i'd probably purchase ...

CPU: Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53Ghz
Memory: 2Gb GEIL/Crucial/OCZ DDR2-800 (PC2-6400)
Graphics Card: nVidia Geforce 8800GT 512Mb
Case: Maybe something from Antec with a PSU provided, excellent quality, i'd go for 420W at least
Hard Disk: 500Gb SATA is good value at the moment
