I relize you're on a budget, but are you intending to play any games ?!?
If so, then ditch the idea of using the onboard graphics card and go with a lower-end graphics card like the nVidia 5200 or the ATi 9200 series cards. Decent graphics and gameplay for not much money
As for the Sempron CPU, it's basically a rebadged Palimino core Athlon XP. It's actually a decent CPU for the price. The sweet spot seems to be the Sempron 2800+.

Or go with the Sempron 3100+, where you can easily upgrade your processor to the more robust amd64s (Sempron 3100+ is socket 754).
