In dollars... aprox cost..
I deal with a local guy for my cpu and MB all other stuff bought at local stores like best buy and the like. Look for rebates and sales.
CPU- 3.2 p4 cpu 800fsb - 160 to 200.00
mother board w/ most all the goodies - 100 to 140.00
3.2 p4 cpu & motherboard (bundles)300.00 <-- bought together and 350.00 for p4 3.4 ghz & MB
Ram-1 gig ddr duel channel 75 to 90.00
video card ultra 6800 gf ddr 256 mb - 150 to 170
video cards that get great FR and gf etc 128 to 256 ram 50 to 90.00
120 to 200 gig hard drive 50 to 120.00 <-- seen even cheaper
sb sound card audigy 2zs 75 to 90.00
modem- depends on what you have, cable , dsl, satalite, dial-up .. 30 to 75.00
Case w/ 400+ watt power source / fans etc.. 75 to 150 for very nice way cool looking case, Viper cases look bad arse they have fans everywhere, too cool looking!!
Cd rom rw/dvd 40 to 100.00,
a-drive- 25.00
so about $760.00 (8% sales tx added) +- low end <--can be lower
to 1260.00+- (8%sales tx added) this price is for no sales or rebates purchases~ straight out full pricing~ and for extras like fancy case, cdrom/dvd <--------
Build time from start to finnish. ei..... put parts together, install software , drivers etc..... 1 to 3 hours
cost would be even cheaper if you went with a 2.8 or 3 gig cpu
this hardware is able to be found in just about any store or online.
All this stuff could also be found even cheaper if you catch it on sale or rebated..
