The best place would be a small local computer dealer. For about $400 you could get:

Socket 754 board with PCI-Express and onboard sound ($45)
AMD Sempron 2800+ ($65)
1GB (2x512MB) RAM, PC3200, no special brand ($90)
160GB Harddisk, SATA ($60)
A cheap case with a generic 300-350W PSU (40$)
ATI X700, 256MB, PCI-Express ($100). Look for a real X700, no X700SE or LE.
A cheap DVD-ROM ($15)

Price: $415.

If you are able to spend about $50 more you should get an Athlon 64 3000+ and a Socket 939 board (much better upgradability!).
