Not sure on what Mainboard you want to use. I don't have specific
data on any for Video purp. However i recommend
http://www.accessmicro.com for building a pc like you have listed. I
did a quick check and I can build one with a faster processor for less
than the one listed there. Hard drive, Ram, and all as listed was
$609.xx

Hope this helps
