Made some updates, and it's coming together pretty nicely so far. Any suggestions are still appreciated!
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS A8N-E 939 nForce4 Ultra AMD - $117 tigerdirect.com
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice - $170 tigerdirect.com
GRAPHICS: eVGA Geforce 6800GS 256MB GDDR3 PCIe - $175 tigerdirect.com
HARD DRIVE: WD Caviar 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s OEM - $110 newegg.com
NEW RAM: 1gig value ram - OCZ $74 newegg.com
UPDATED CD/DVD: Pioneer IDE DVD DVR-110 DBK - OEM $44 tigerdirect.com (cheaper overall than at tigerdirect)
CASE & POWER SUPPLY: Antec Sonata II w/ 450w power supply - $79 tigerdirect.com
Its quieter, and is reviewed highly. It will, however, make that front 120mm fan a necessity ($5-15)
MONITOR: 17-19 inch LCD suggestions? $250-300 most likely, of which I am crying. But a good display is a good display and that can't be fought.
KEYBOARD MOUSE: I know there is a pair laying around here somewhere. Get a wireless set later. $FREE
