newbie question on new machine

[danskii]

Can anyone give me some ideas for the best CPU/MOBO/RAM combo for under $400?

What will you be using the computer for mainly?
Do you plan to OC?
How long before you plan to upgrade again?

Epox 9NDA J $95
939 3000 $150
Mushkin 1gig Dual Channel #130

Total $375

Mainly I need it for just general use - photo editing, word processing, chatting, music, videos, etc
But I want to be able to play games every now and then.
Upgrade maybe in 1-2 years...
and yeah I would like to overclock if possible...

Thanks for your help guys =)
