The screen isn't great, but it's not "horridly unbareable." You could always hook it up to a TV with the right adapter. I wouldn't recommend a Powerbook if you're a serious gamer, though, for reasons aside from the screen (ie video card).

"Good" and "cheap" do not go well together in the computer world.
Your best bet is to find a cheap Dell DESKTOP on sale.

Cheap gaming exists in the form of consoles.

The sensible solution here if you want a cheap gaming solution would be to spend the $ for a good desktop, then get a cheap laptop (perhaps an old TiBook or iBook) for doing stuff on-the-run. The only laptop computer I have personally seen run WoW incredibly well was a Dell XPS2 laptop, a heavy sucker which must have weighed at least 9 pounds, was loud as hell, and incredibly bulky.
If you insist on powerbook, however, I'd recommend a 15" with at least 1.5GB of memory - you will experience lag in the cities and when there's a lot of players around and at times when the landscape is too detailed, mainly because the bottleneck will be a combination of the GPU and your hard drive - perhaps even the processor. The 12" FX5200 is far too underpowered to run anything of the sort, even with maxed out memory.

Get an iBook. Bigger screen and cheaper.
