My recomendations but their is many way's to go here Mike.

Processor: Pentium 1V 520 775pin $229
Motherboard: Albatron PX865PE7c-Pro $139
Ram: King Max super ram twin pack 2 x 256 sticks PC3200 $79
Video card: Any vid card around the 5700 and up...any thing less isn't worth it...your better off getting video on board if you go for less then a 5700. $120-$200
DVD Burner...and 16x dual layer DVD burner...pioneer are popular $ 75
Case $50 -150 ...go for a case with atleast a 400watt power supply...least this way you can add what you want at a later stage...if you go for say a antec..you can go for a 350watt power supply....the cheaper case power supplies dont actualy put out the stated wattage like the good cases. eg...the 350watt antec true power supplies put out more then most 400-450 cheap power supplies...just keep that in mind.
Hard drive: your choice....120 gig SATA is about the go now...but your call. $110

Hope this helps mike..

Like I said their is heaps of option's...their is no real right or wrong answer...I just wouldn't go for anything less then what I have mentioned above....unless you go for second hand.
