I went with these.

MB BIOSTAR NF3 SATA AGP NF325-A7 RT - Retail
POWER SUPPLY CMAX 400WCX-400B BK RT - Retail
CPU AMD|SEMPRON64 2800+ RTL - Retail
PQI POWER 512MB DDR PC3200 - Retail x 2 
CASE MXTP|MID 0W 2BAFAN CSX147K GRY - Retail

For $60 and about $120 I could've gone for 939, instead of $50 and $76, but it 
seems silly to buy 939 with AGP and I don't want to immediately resell my 
brand new eVGA 6600GT AGP for a PCIe version. (And sell it at a loss.) I'm 
sure 754 will be fast enough for me, anyway, even if 939 is noticeably faster 
than 754 with a Sempron.
