Well first of all if you have a really tight budget overclocking wouldn’t be the best thing to do unless you get a good power supply. The GHz is dependent on the power supply and cooling so it doesn’t fry.

Mabye something like this would be good:

Intel Pentium E5200 - $149.05…80571E5200.asp

Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L - $95.70…A-G31M-S2L.asp

SilverStone ST56F V3 - 560W - $116.40…T56F004020.asp

Gigabyte Setto 1000 - $94.60…1CASNB-01R.asp

Corsair 2048MB (2 x 1024MB) PC2-6400 800Mhz DDR2 RAM - 4-4-4-12 - $63.35…048-6400C4.asp

Seagate 250GB 7200rpm Serial ATA-II-300 HDD w. 16MB Cache - $90.20…T3250410AS.asp

Zodia 8500GT

That should come up to around $700-$800 after shipping and handling you should be able to overclock the E5200 quite a bit with the power supoply

it is possible to build a gaming rig for that price what I would suggest would be to check out the barebones models at pricewatch I use them frequently to help find the best prices

Think clearly

price show the quality of product
don’t buy the cheaper product.
