I'll throw together a list real quick, give me a sec..

CPU: E8400 ($179.99)
http://www.tankguys.com/product_info...oducts_id=1815

Motherboard: Asus P5N-D ($149.99)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131232

RAM: Super Talent (2x 1Gb) DDR2-800 ($40)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820609027
*I recommend that mainly because I just got a set for a build, and it works great on 1.8v 5-5-5-18 @ 800Mhz. I've had it up to 850Mhz on stock everything. Plus it's cheap!*

GPU: XFX 8800GTS (G92) ($239.99)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150261

PSU: Silverstone 650w ($109 or $79 after MIR) <--- Very Good Price
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817163108

HDD: WD 640Gb ($115) <-- Super fast drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136218

That leaves case and burners, OS also. Total of the above comes to $835, without shipping and rebates. Add in the one rebate, it drops the total down to $795. Which I think this is a very good system for that price.

What do you think?
