If I were gonna spend $500-$800, this is what I'd get:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ $85
Abit NF7-S Revision 2.0 Motherboard $99
512 MB (256 MB x 2) PC3200 Corsair RAM, CAS 2-3-3-6 $125
Volcano 9+ CPU Heatsink Fan $30
Maxtor 80 GB 7200 RPM 8 MB Cache $80
Lite-On CD-RW 52x32x52 $40
Generic Case $50
Enermax 350w PSU $60
Floppy $10
Gainward 128 MB GeForce FX 5900 $210
Extra case fan $7
That'll put you right at $800. I wouldn't choose anything other than the above combo if I were gonna spend that much. Hope this helps!
