Are you planning on overclocking?

I doubt that he "plans" on overclocking, he doesn't even know what is compatible (no offense Phyco Can). Give me some time, I will suggest something.

This setup cost about $1,015 shipped (inside the U.S.):

Motherboard: Abit KN8 Ultra ATX
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego S939
Memory: Corsair XMS 1gb (2 x 512mb)
Video Card: eVGA GeForce 7800GT
Hard Drive: Hitachi 160gb SATA 3.0gb/s
Power Supply: Aspire ATX-AS520W 520 Watt
Optical Drive: Lite-On Black DVD Burner
Case: Rosewill TU-155

EDIT: There is a $20 MIR (for the video card) that will bring the total to about $995, so it would fit your $1K budget.
