Well, Paq wants to spend less than $500, so I don't see that combo working. $500 is a bit low to put together a nice PC, but I'll give my opinion on the best solution for under $500.

AMD Athlon XP 2500+ at 1.83 GHz
Abit NF7-S Revision 2.0 Motherboard
512 MB PC3200 Corsair RAM
Western Digital 80 GB 7200 RPM SATA
Generic Case + PSU
NVIDIA GeForce 4 TI4200 64 MB
CD-RW 52x24x52

That's right at $500 from NewEgg. If you want a better videocard, you'll simply have to spend more. $500 is a small budget for a fast, up-to-date computer. You'll get a very nice PC, but $500 isn't enough for the best videocards, hard drives, and extra RAM.
