Whats your budget? Do you plan on overclocking at all (i know you're new to this, but you can learn)? Here are some suggestions:

EDIT: what size monitor do you have? and what resolution do you play games in? what games do you play?

Cheapest conroe gaming setup, ok gaming, good overclocking:
$180 - Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz 2M sharing L2 Cache LGA 775
$150 - A-DATA Vitesta 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-533 ELJKD1A16K
$56 - ASRock 775Dual-VSTA Socket T (LGA 775) VIA PT880 PRO
$70 - 3D Fuzion 3DFR76256GSE Geforce 7600GS 256MB ($90 - $20MIR)

good gaming until dx10, mild overclocking:
$180 - Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz 2M sharing L2 Cache LGA 775

all of these are great suggestions but the number one question is your budget. its all about what you are prepaired to spend on a rig. Answer that and we could give you more precise answers as to what your looking for. As far as which on is better Nvidia or ATI its all in the preferences of the person unless you go complete top end then there are a few differences but at that point you are spending several hundred on a vid card which i dont think you are prepaired to do with your first PC build.
