I've just finished putting together almost exactly that:

2.8 ghz HT prescott
512 meg
Albatron nvidia 6600 pci -express
pcHDTV 3000

About $500

The nvidia 6600 was one of the few cards I found that had composite, s-video 
AND component tv-out ( It also has dvi, but my hdtv doesn't have dvi in.)

OTOH, I still trying  to get mythtv working on it :(
