i believe i'm a little late on the go here, but for motherboard and processor i got
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athelon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+
2 gigs of dual channel ram
when i get a sound card for this computer it's more than likely going to be a Motu PCI-E card. because thus far of the cards i've heard (edirol, e-mu, m-audio, rme, mbox etc) motu seems to have the best sound for me.
edit : one thing to keep in mind about amd dual core vs intel dual core. intel's dual cores aren't bridged, so if one processor needs to know what the other one does, it has to go through the computer first. whereas with amd, they have a pipeline going between. thus making the amd processor faster at making calculations than the intel.
