A single week is very little time. My recommmendation is to go only to Rome.
I understand that you will almost certainly really want to see other cities,
but this is a clear case where less is more. Even with a week, you will only
scratch the surface of what Rome has to offer.
But if you insist on going elsewhere, I would add either Florence or Venice,
depending on your personal interests (Venice would be my choice). Definitely
do not try to see more than two in one week.

Tell us what you mean by "not too expensive." How much you're willing to
spend, what kind of accomations (single, double, etc.), and what you require
(private bath, elevator, breakfast included, etc.)

Trains from city to city. Walk or take local buses within cities.

The word "few" sounds to me like you mean three or four. Any attempt to
visit that many is one week will mean that you will get to see next to
nothing. You will be able to tell your friends "Oh, I've been there," but
that's all.
