Mobo, get an AM2 socket one.
Video, go with a Nvidia 7300gs, you should be able to get them in the $100 range, and if you wanted to play some games, they can handle most recentish games fairly well without being too expensive.
edit: spend what you want on the case. There are some decent ones for $50 out there, sure. I usually prefer ones that happen to have a higher price. Just because it has a higher price doesn't mean it's better though. However the P180 is really nice. If I were looking for a new case, that'd be the first I'd consider.
