Was thinking of building a new PC.

Well, my current rig sucks like hell and can barely run any modern games anymore. So I decided to start saving for a real gaming PC. I have a few questions though cause I've never tried building my own PC.

1. I'm not aiming for an i7 processor since it's too expensive for my budget (I'm 15). I think I'll go with something like an AMD II Phenom X2 or X4 depending on how much they cost. Will this be sufficient for games like DotA 2 and Starcraft 2?

2. If I were to buy an AMD II Phenom X2/X4, can you guys recommend a good build for the games I mentioned that would still be quite affordable? Also easy to purchase in Cebu or Philippines.

Yeah basically I need someone to help me build a PC for gaming and tell me where I can buy the parts. Thanks.

EDIT: Budget at around 20K.
