I'm on a self-built PC too and all I can say is I would NEVER buy a OEM PC again. But then again we self-builders enjoy this as a hobby...
Sqrl's choice of parts seems like a very good configuration for that price.
A decent processor, 2GB or RAM and 320GB HDD is very nice.
If you have no Overclocking in mind, you can get some cheaper/slower RAM
If you're not going to game, you can shave off a little more $$ off the Video Card. The Radeon HD 2400 seems a good choice for non-3D usage.
crappy old school NES games are more entertaining than next-gen games.
