I would second the Soma recommendation above - they frequently have amazing sales of like 60-75% off. Recently had Clipper cranks for $50. I'd also recommend budget Shimano v-brakes and a cheapo rear derailleur which you can find on ebay or A'zon for ~$10-15. Also check out these Velocity Cliffhanger wheels for $110-$130 (entire wheelset for less than $250).

Velo Orange sometimes has deeep sales/discounts depending on what component you're looking for.
