I just built (like two days ago) a comp for a coworkers mom
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+ 2.6GHz
2GB Crucial 667MHz RAM (that runs stable at 800 but not at 667

)
ASRock N61P-S MicroATX mobo
WD 160GB HD
Rosewill Card Reader
LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner
and an HEC mid tower with a 485W PSU

But it beats any desktop under 1200

I could put in a 9800 GT $130 (w/ COD4)
4GB OCZ Reaper 1066MHz RAM $65
19" LG 2ms Monitor $180
Unnecessarily high-end gaming mouse (G5) and keyboard (G11) $110
and it'd still cost <$800 so no it really wouldn't.
