P4 3gig(3 or 3.4 doesn't make a diff anymore in gaming so save the extra doh)
or
AMD FX 53 (can't get better than that right now)
1024 MB Ram DDR400something...it supposed to be as fast as DDR2
Radion X800 Platinum Edition( my babe)
or
Nvidea Ultra (powerfu but not a babe)
Audigy (if you want to you can get Audigy2 but for gaming it doesn't do anything what the Audigy can't, it's a driver thingy)
or
Well another soundcard that was in my opinion better but I forgot who made it

Mitsubishi 23" tube monitor (dunno the seriel but there is only really one and it's gonna give you visual orgasm non stop)
Sennheiser headset (only for LAN sinse alone at home you can blast the speakers)
