well the holiday cash is in and I have about $1200 to spend on a new system for myself. I want to get the most bang for my buck so I am looking for suggestions. THe components i need are:

case power supply
mobo/cpu
ram ( 1 gig preferably)
video card (128 mb preferably)
on board sound is fine but if not i dont need anything too fancy.
HD approx 80 gb is all i need
Dvd player
cd burner
no monitor printer scanner keyboard floppy disk mouse or speakers needed

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
