Don't know good bargain priced PSUs :x but as for the ram, look on newegg for some $30 2 gig set from the well known companies, maybe the P35-DS3L? thats like $90 and umm, well an E2160 from egg for $75 maybe? You'd need to OC it more than just a tad but its not hard, hell on stock voltage they can hit 3 ghz.

e2180 for $82; helps guarantee a 3.2Ghz OC; mine is 3.4.
Abit IP35-E quick buy it now it's only $60 AR at newegg
go ahead and buy 4GB of ram, should only run you $75; this stuff is in hot deals section
pick out a PSU; don't skimp here; this is one component where you really get what you pay for a lot of the time.
edit: oh and a Thermalright ultra120 extreme or Tuniq Tower (this is best).
