Tousand euro? You can do way better than that then, and get a graph card in a higher price range too. My comp cost me 253 euro, and has these specs, to give you an idea:
AMD Duron 1600 (overclocked to 2GHz)
256 DDR 333MHz Ram
ATI Radeon 9200SE 64Mb DDR Ram
5 PCI slots
1 AGP slot
3 DDR Ram slots, able to go up to around 1GB Ram
5.1 Channel sound (using 2.0, but it's able to do that)
80GB HD, 2Mb Cache
350W PSU
I recommend getting most parts in Germany, as it's way cheaper there. The parts that can get baught with a defect (Ram and HD) are best bought near where you live, just in case. Also make sure all your hardware'll be compatible (check slots used, try to figure out how much Watt you need, so you can get a decent PSU to power it all, etc. etc.) Also look at which parts in your current comp can be recuperated for your new one, as that'll cut price down too. Another tip is to make sure you'll have a case which everything'll fit into, or you'll end up like me, having to rebuild an old little cabinet that wasn't used anymore to fit all the hardware in, adding some fans on strategic spots to take care of the cooling.
