for AMD i would recommend the AMD Mobile XP 2500+ (~ $80). the mobile xp cpu's are popular these days because they overclock easily to 2.4-2.5 ghz which in terms of AMD architecture and speed, its faster than a P4 3.2 ghz. the desktop AMD cpu and the mobile AMD cpu (originally intended for laptops) are virtually the same though. the only difference in that the mobile one operates at a lower voltage allowing it to clock higher. i have one myself and it works just great. if you don't plan to overclock than you should just get the desktop version. the 2 most sought after motherboards for the AMD XP processor line is the Abit NF7-S Rev. 2 and the DFI NFII ultra infinity board. they're selling for about $80-90. i think either board would suit you fine if you decide to go with one of them. they both also come with a good onboard sound card so you won't need to buy a separate sound card. the 9800 pro is a good video card too. don't forget your power supply. don't skimp out on a cheap one. Enermax, Thermaltake and Antec make the best power supplies. i think your setup looks good for starters. good luck with the project.

sorry for double post.

isn't the AMD 2500 already 2.5 gigahertz..?
