CPU
Newegg.com - AMD Athlon II X2 240 Regor 2.8GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
$60 (FS) $19.99 saving

RAM
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ - Desktop Memory
$39.99 $35 saving

That pretty much as cheap as you can go (without cutting down on GPU).

Aaron, that X2 is an AM3 cpu and the board is AM2/AM2+. If going the X2 route you will want to consider this motherboard:
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA785G-UD3H AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

The Regor 240 X2 is cheaper than the 7850 you picked out (Aaron linked to it) and nearly as fast. The AM3 motherboard I linked to might be about $10 more than the one you picked. However, if you switch to this GPU, you'll save about $20 and have a better, faster GPU.
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100245HDMI Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

How are you so sure the one you chose is better? Have you tried both?
