Then again if you get a motherboard with onboard graphics, sound and LAN then you can ignore some of the cards.
The CPU depends on the motherboard and socket. Ram too!
You can get these things free from trash bins, cheap from yard sales, used computer stores or on e-Bay or pay full price at Circuit City, but why bother to build from the ground up when you can get a machine ready to go for $400 from just about anywhere.
As far as prices go... the ranges vary wildly depending on what sort of computer you want to build. A graphics card can cost $30 or $180. A CPU fan can cost $10 or $90. How much hard drive do you need or want? You get the idea.
How about getting a basic machine and tweaking it with more RAM and cards. Have you thought about modding an X-Box?

Dude - there are zillions of different parts for computers. My suggestion - browse the sites that specialize in computer parts: geeks.com; tigerdirect.com;newegg.com, etc. Pick out what you like and can afford.
What you need - case and power supply
motherboard
CPU
Hard drive
RAM
Optical drive(s) - CD/DVD
Video Card
