[kram 2.0]

Here is my suggestion build:

Intel P4 3.0C Northwood (219)
Asus P4P800-E Deluxe (116)
Kingston ValueRAM 512 x 2 = 1024 Dual DDR400 PC3200 (195)
Western Digital 250GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive (193)
Creative SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer Ltd. Ed. (110)
Sapphire Radeon X800 Pro 256 with VIVO (445)

This build comes out to around 1278 USD including shippping with the X800 pro being sold out right now, available tomorrow. Now, I am thinking that you would be using the other components of your old system? Then this is a perfect fit build - the graphics will be insanely good. If you need to decrease the cost a little, I recommend replacing the video card with the Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128 which is still verrrryyyy good (I have the 9800 Pro VPU) but is 205+ USD which should bring your total down about 240 USD to around 1000 USD.


Hope that helps,
