Do you need the monitor and other stuff included in that, or will you use your existing monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc?

I'm actually an Athlon fan, but right if you're look to build that absolute fastest (like this one I'm building) the high end P4's are currently king. But, for what you are doing perhaps the Athlong XP would be better since they are cheaper in price and still you can hit 2 Ghz.
Let me know your preferences...

Ok, here goes, I like the Athlon, so would like to use that, as for a monitor, mouse and keyboard, don't have one, but might get a used one, well, I am going to get a optical mouse. The speakers, I'll just use my stereo system, so I'd like to have the lastest and best version of sound blaster LIVE, I think it's what it is. I'm a little out of the loop lately on comps for that I used to follow them until I joined the AF, then I became mostly a car person. Oh, one last thing, it has to have a ethernet card, for that my friends and I always have a lan party(I use one of theirs).
