socket 939 amd's are getting cheaper and cheaper by the second, you could pick up a decent amd 64 with about a gig of ram, that combined with an off brand mobo... slap an IDE hard drive in a tower that comes with a 400w PS or whatnot, and bam... under 500$ 
maybe 7300 or 7600 for graphics?

This video card really sucks for the price.
He can get 7600GT which can easily outperform it

is it possible
to somehow subsitute the mobo for
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131569
I dont know much about them but when buying things on the internet I usually trust the product more when you can see that many people have bought it. Looking at the specs it says the northbridge is a nvidia sumthin or other and the one up^ ther says it is an ATI. if it is possible to do some sort of subsitute, would that even be a smart idea? I am very new at this so I will be asking probably stupid questions such as these. thanks for being patient!

Good mobo, however, I would suggest that you spend the extra $10 and go for AM2 instead of S939.
This processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103029
This mobo (most popular AM2 mobo on Newegg): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131143
This RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227059
Not sure how these will affect the price (since I really didn't look at the original config, only mobo, cpu, psu, ram), but some things can always be changed should a lower price be desired.
