I would be considering somthing along the lines of an AMD Athlon equivelent of the coppermine processer because not only is it faster ( on most aplications) it's much cheaper! Try mabey an Athlon 650+ along with a NVidia GeForce 256DDR with an ASUS K7M-RV or the like. The Athlon also uses SDRAM rather than the MEGA expencive RDRAM. For my money I would be going the Athlon.
Have a look at SlotA.com, it's a great source of athlon products.
