    For the graphics card I would suggest a geforce4 ti4200 as these are still pretty nippy and play most games fine, you can find one of these without your budget here

    For a case I would suggest you look on aria, as they have some pretty decent cases for that price.

    For the RAM i would personally suggest you get some good stuff but if your on a budget go for some ebuyer own which can be found here but i wouldn't suggest you get this as memory is something you don't want to cut back on. For 256 you can pickup samsung for cheap which is good memory here

    For you HDD I would say a maxtor drive as these are fast/silent and have a good warranty. Try this drive as its good quality, fast and very quiet, here
