amd athlon 64 3000+ /$150
abit av8 / $116
512mb ram / $50
80gb hd/ $65
CHAINTECH nVIDIA GeForce FX5500 /$82
=$463
you can use the extra to get a case and psu.
 
gaming for the most part, and wont my videocard and ram work fine? cuz i have 512 in progress of trying to get working
 
Video card: Either the EVGA or XFX. The XFX is 10% faster on the ram, but less people like it. Their RMA is kinda a hastle (know from experince)
193$

192$

CPU: AMD 35watt 2400+ mobile. Great overclocker, and with it's support for older ram and not DDR400, this makes overclocking EASY. Can give the 3.8ghz p4 a run for it's money.

89$

MOBO: Some model of the abit nf-7
62$-92$
Suggested one: 83$

RAM: Just any stick that you can find. Corsair Value select or some other ram would be a good ram.
50$ a stick, you only need 1, but suggest to upgrade to 2 later.

Heatsink: This is a good one. I have SKT 939 version and it rocks. Will handle your overclockign goodness

33$

Power Supply: Thermaltake TD-420AD. Nice power and Nice price
38$

Case: Whatever, use a peice of plyword for what I care.

EDIT: This is 486 Dollars with one stick of 512 Ram. Use the other 120$ for more ram, or fans and a case. Oh yeah, i forgot a hard drive, get one at your discretion, and you most likely have a spare CD-ROM laying around.

Please note that this setup is one made for overclocking, since mobile chips run extremely cool and stable, they can give a 3.8GHZ Intel a run for it's money when overclocked
 
See my sig, the build's about $700. dollars, including shipping from newegg.com. Cut out the Video card and get a cheaper one (ATI 9550 perhaps) and you save $120 ($580). You can then chop down on the processor perhaps (Sempron or 64 2800+) and save $20-50 more ($530-560).

Just a suggestion.
