$180 in Computer Hardware, what should I get?

OK.... I have around $180 and I wanna speed up the very slow system in my cabinet.
Here's what I'd like:
Motherboard
Processor (preferably AMD)
and a cheap video card that supports output to a television.

I don't need anything too fancy, all I play is MAME (up to newer fighting games like the King of Fighters 2001), SNES roms, NES roms, Genesis, and Stepmania. I have RAM and a hard drive to spare.

I was browsing Newegg, and it seems I might be able to pull it off.
Crazy Cooter:
MicroCenter usually has some good prices.

Why don't you just go get in line at Best Buy right now (or other favorite electronic store) and buy a complete computer system tomorrow morning for $150?

ok sure there's a lot of crappy rebates involved so charge it for now and pay it off with the rebates.

Yes.  Knowing that will make upgrade suggestions easier.
