I think its about time I got a new computer and I'd appreciate any suggestions.
I only play Counterstrike and WoW currently, but I do want a decent graphics card that will run them on max and won't get outdated too quickly. I'm just looking for the best bang for the buck currently. I've been out of the loop lately and haven't had the time to read up on everything.

I was thinking about getting an Nvidia GeForce 7600gt so far, but I have no idea about the mobo/proc and ram.

hehehe... whats your budget and whats included in that budget?
 
Oh sorry
My budget is around $500-700 for mobo/proc/video card/ram and maybe hard drive.
 
So... you don't need an optical drive, case, nor psu? Out of curiosity, which psu will you be using with this rebuild?

I hope this fits your budget:
$180 - Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz
$100 - Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express
$210 - G.SKILL 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-800 F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ
$115 - BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE Geforce 7600GT 256MB ($145 - $30MIR)
$75 - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250620AS 250GB 7200RPM SATA300 16MB Cache
======
$675 + tax and shipping

If not, you could drop down to 1GB ram instead of 2GB:
$100 - Wintec AMPO 1GB (2x512MB) DDR2-800 (1.8V) 3AMD2800-1G1K-R

If you find more cash layin around, you could get a 7900GS pretty cheap, same with a GT or x1950pro:
$160 - eVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB ($186 - $20MIR)
$205 - eVGA 256-P2-N584-AR Geforce 7900GT 256MB ($225 - $20MIR)
$200 - SAPPHIRE 100176L Radeon X1950PRO 256MB
