But; if you cant wait, this would be the bare minimal (with the specs you want):
(Prices from Ascent)
AMD 64 4000+ Socket 939 ................................ $604
Asus A8N5X Socket 939 w/ SATA PCI-e 16x ....... $157
Seagate Barracuda 300GB SATA w/ NCQ ........... $216
Albatron GeForce 7600GS 256MB PCI-e 16x ...... $257
Kingston ValueRAM Dual Chan 2x512MB ............ $214
Total .................................................. ............. $1448

Others in here may suggest different brands (better brands) but this will give you a reasonable gaming system. This also assumes your monitor will handle the card, and you have all other parts already (reasonable PSU, Optical drives, etc).
The above list is a suggestion ONLY.
