So, the SAPPHIRE 587L Radeon X600PRO 128MB $83 is overkill,and ATI9700 is ok.
Id argue the 9700 (assuming its a 9700Pro since plain jane 9700s are a pain to find) is a superior card


In any case, a quick rundown of some specs:
Pentium 4 540J @ 210USD
PQI Turbo 2x512MB @70USD after rebate
Maxtor 200GB 8MB SATA @ 105USD
NEC 3520A @ 45USD
XClio 450W 12V@15+17 @ 50USD
Floppy, case and monitor you originally had (because im not concerned about these) @ 380USD

ASUS P5GPL @100USD
Sapphire X300SE 32MB->128MB PCIe @ 50USD
or
ASUS P5GD1-VM @ 105USD


Totals = 960USD for the onboard video route or 1165USD for discrete video route
