X2 245/250 - 2.8K approx
ASUS M4A88T-M - 4.8K approx ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
2GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM, Corsair- 2K approx
500GB Seagate 7200.12 - 1.7K approx
DVD writer - 1K approx
FSP SAGAII 350 - 1.5K approx
CM Elite 310 cabinet - 1.6K approx
Total- approx 15.4K
You may get a VIP/Zebronics/ etc cabinet without PSU for 0.8K-1K and get a X3 435 (3.5K approx) if you want.

there is a flaw in this config. Athlon 200 series cpu's only supports upto 1066 ram so getting 1333 will be useless.

^^ yup. but getting 1066Mhz ram maybe a hard time. i didn't came across any 1066Mhz ram in past few months or say entire 2010.
