Gone for a Athlon XP processor, don't really think the 64's are worth the extra expense at the moment:

Antec ATX Entry Level Server Plus1080AMG with 430W ATX TruePower supply
AMD Athlon XP3200+ 400FSB 512Cache Barton Retail Boxed Inc Heatsink & Fan with 3year Warranty
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe SKTA NVNorce2ST ATX 8xAGP Giga LAN, SATA, Firewire, 6 channel Audio, USB2 Dual chan. DDR +WiFi slot (up to DDR400)
Crucial CT6464Z40B 512mb DDR 400MHz PC3200 CL=3 Memory Module * 2
Western Digital WD2500JD 250Gb 8mb Cache 7200rpm Serial ATA - OEM
Sony DW-D22a 16x Dual Layer DVD R/RW - OEM Biege
XFX NVidia Geforce FX 5900XT 128MB DDR 8x/4x AGP TV-Out DVI Retail Box

TIA

Edit : oh yeah, and I'll grab a floppy drive at some point too

looks good i agree at the moment the 64 cpu's aren't worth it yet have u checked out the new Sempron range? the gfx card isn't top of the range same as mine in fact fast card but it struggles a little with doom turned full on other wise the spec looks fine
