Are you into overclocking?
If so Frys has a pentium4 1.6a and some mobo for $209. Ask for the combo but get either a 645 based board or the new ASUS P4B533 mobo.
Go to overclocking forums to find more info. Also get a stick a 2700 DDR memory 256 should do you. For the HD your going to have to say how many gigs you need. The video card is a hard one. I'd spend $155 and buy the GF4 4200 from Micro access.
With those components and a decent 2.2Ghz overclock youll have a really fast system for gaming or anything else.
Good luck.
