Hi, these are the parts that i chose for a very low budget build. I want to spend as little as possible, im reusing my HardDrive and DVD drive. My question is is it worth spending an extra 10$ for the 2.2ghz AMD? Is there any parts that i should change? thanks

The uses of this computer is mostly for school work, and gaming if someone brings a video card over.

edit: the cost of this will be $247.95 CND from NCIX

Do you have a case? You can downgrade the PSU to a quality 350W without problems if you want to save a little more. Otherwise, the build is fine.
