If you're an AMDer, then AMD Athlon 64 3800+, GeForce 6800 GT, ASUS A8N-SLI, and a 450W PSU. (Other Stuff, Of Course). If your an Inteler, then Intel Pentium 4 550J, ATi Radeon X700Pro (my experiences, I like ATi better or you can always use an nVidia GeForce 6600GT), Abit AA8-Duramax, and 450W PSU. (Other Stuff Of Course). If you go with either company, you will get that stuff within $700 to $800 and then you will be able to add all the other necessary for around $500 more. Does this include a monitor, kb, mouse, and speakers? Never say P4EE on this forum, cause I will go absolutely crazy. I'm an Inteler, but I will always recommend a P4 570J over a P4EE because "benchmarks speak for themselves."
