EVGA GeForce 7600GT $89 after M.I.R.
OCZ Value Series 1GB PC-5300 $66 after M.I.R.
Antec SonataII Case w/450 power supply $50 after M.I.R.
Western Digital Caviar SE 160GB $59
Lite On CD/DVD Burner $35

That system runs you $450 and it's a bit of overkill for what you need but it will last you a long time. It will handle any game you throw at it, and all your home office needs.
it will last until AM2+ comes out then AM3. I think you would be better of going intel and get a PD in it now then you will be able to move to Core 2 duo or whatever intel comes out with.
