You can order off of US sites, right? Like Newegg?

For $850 USD you could build a decent E6300 dual core system, if you get a mediocre graphics card, which it sounds like you want anyway, a decent hard drive, and 1GB of RAM, which would leave you with plenty of room to expand later if you choose to have a more powerful PC.

The performance for the graphic not solely depends on how many mb for the GPU. It depends on what model.
