Hi and welcome!

You really need to provide some more info on what you want from your computer if we're going to help you. Making it cheaper is no sweat, just pick cheaper components with less performance! ... but I don't think that's what you really want.

The main issue:
- What are you going to use the computer for?

Secondary issues:
- What are your priorities? Cost, noise, CPU performance, graphics performance, future upgradeability, low power consumption, etc...

Cheers
Olle
