Building gamer rig on budget

[sameer0807]

As title says I'm looking to build a gamer rig on budget....and by budget I mean around $500..
I did some research and figured I need a kick ass GPU followed by decent CPU.

The only GPU that I can think of is xFx 8800GTs...

CPU, most probably AMD 64x2 4200

For motherboard, I would need something SLI ready, so in the future if I have to upgrade, I'll just buy 2 video cards.
Biostar TForce TF570 SLI Motherboard looks like a good candidate:

I like the dual RJ 45 ports option. Online gaming will improve..

and finally DDR2 ram, at least 2gigs:

I will be saving some money by re-using existing parts in my current PC such as the hard drive, keyboard/mouse and monitor.

Total cost so far:
GPU: $330
CPU: ???
RAM: $86

Total: $416

Any suggestions??? ideas...help me out here!
thnx

Power supply?
Operating system?

Get two 1gb sticks of some DDR2 667Mhz or 800Mhz as opposed to the single 2gb stick.
Dual channel is a big improvement.

Great deal if you could manage to get the rebate in on time, and if not still a reasonable price.

well, everything looks ok, if i had such an ammount of money avaible i would build domething similar, maybe only different mb cos i prefer abit or asus over biostar
