I just put together a quote for someone from newegg, its a bit over your budget but it'll be a nice system. See attached zip file.

HDTV

Efros- think this system can handle HDTV on an LCD screen? Any tweaks you would recommend if I had more cash to spend I could do about 500 more.

Have no clue, but looking at the core duo and a 7300GS I would hope so!

Not a big fan of huge widescreen Flatscreen tvs myself, they're just too darned expensive at the moment. I must make do with my nasty 32" CRT
