One nice thing about going with the Barton is that your only spending another $30 for something that you WILL notice a difference on especially with the Digital Camera stuff. Also, if you are just getting started with Digi stuff, you will have a growing need for more ram and better processor power when you want to edit some pics.
Anyway heres my suggestion. All prices are from NewEgg
Barton 2500+ - $80
512mb DDR333 Kingston Value Ram - $77
Abit NF7-s v2.0 - $92
Antec SLK-3700BQE - $79
Liteon 52x32x52 Burner - $39 (I would suggest this over a DVD for the backup of your digital pics.)
Western Digital WD800JB 80gb Drive - $79
MSI GF4 MX440-8x - $45
=$491
This system will be extremely good, and if you found the need later on to use Paint shop PRO or Photoshop, you will have the Processor power and the RAM to do just about whatever you want. This is assuming that you already have a copy of Win XP, Speakers, Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard.
