I use 3 programs (all are open source and run on Mac, Windows, and Linux):

Avogadro for the molecule building and GAMESS input file generation
http://avogadro.openmolecules.net/wiki/Main_Page

GAMESSQ for running the GAMESS job
http://www.msg.chem.iastate.edu/GAMESS/GamessQ/

MacMolPlt for extracting data from the GAMESS log file
http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/MacMolPlt/

You can see a screencast of how I do it here:
