can anyone help me with a budget diy pc

8800GS or HD3850 graphics card will run you around $170-$190

2x1GB DDR2 800 RAM: $40-$60

250-500GB hard drive: $60-$110

SATA DVD RW drive: $30-$40

Case of your choice: $50-$120

Decent P35 motherboard: $90-$120

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750: $190

Even with the upper end on all those parts, you're just $30 or so over budget, and you can cut back to a cheaper case, memory, hard drive, etc.

thanks for the help but one more question are these parts fully compatible

Wouldn't have posted them if they weren't compatible. Don't worry about PCI-e 2.0, it is backwards-compatible with PCI-e x16.
