if you are just doing slight gaming i would go with the x2 3800+
everything else in your build looks ok, except you can go with OCZ ultra 5+ thermal compound, made from the exact same stuff as artic silver 5 for cheaper around 5 bucks. i got this stuff from Chris.
first, Athlon XP's are far cheaper than Pentium 4's of equivalent speed. they are last generation's CPU's anyway. so are Northwood's. Athlon 64's have completely overrun them
and the prescott is no match for Athlon 64's either. in gaming, single core Athlon 64's overrun them. in multimedia, the X2's, especially the 4800+ take them to school.
and what do you mean you can't run any programs on them yet? you can run MORE programs on them. they haven't just ditched 32-bit
