I'd go what Spec has put together for proposal.

A graphics card is going to be almost a third of the budget in any build I've ever seen. That's just the way it goes. The more expensive the other parts too the more expensive graphics card planned for the rig.

You can get cheaper cards, but not really much. Even the totally obsolete cards cost around 50.

One reason I would not go AMD is that it can not be up-graded that easily in the CPU department (almost as a rule nowadays for AMD new CPU-> new motherboard) , whereas by buying a good Core2Duo motherboard you'll have a lot of options to up-grade it later.

Flying under radar.
