P4 3.06
Asus P4G8X (or P4SDX, which'll be released soon)
2*256MB sticks of Mushkin pc3200 (from mushkin directly)
Hercules Radeon 9700 Pro

Doesn't get much better than that.
As for cooling, if you're talking about strictly air, either a Swiftech MCX4000 or Alpha PAL8942T with a Vantec Tornado 80mm.

...thinking about spending some money on something aside from audio, 1ctabor?
