I don't understand your math, I get $390 from the stuff you list below, unless you forgot to list something.

Do you include xp in the price? How about a monitor and key/mouse, are they needed in that price as well?

Here's a rig, I recommended not too long ago. It's all from tigerdirect, but if you look around you'll get the stuff cheaper at other places, like newegg, zzf, etc.

Mobo: $89.99

ecs makes a pretty crappy product, excepting thier not-too-bad k7s5a pro

go with a better motherobard, and a better power supply (raidmax, thermaltake, or antec). i recommend the gigabyte ga-7n400 pro, from experience.
