Budget isn't a concern but you're not ready to just throw money out the window either - what processor are you buying, and what motherboard do you want to put it in?
My BIOS announced this morning that it was extremely unhappy..it's been acting up for the last week or two (I think the drive controller is about to kick out on me). Figuring it's not long for the world, I'm starting to read up on advancements since I last put this system together.
Currently I've got an AMD Athlon 1400 in an Asus motherboard w/ 1GB of 266mhz ram.
I've been running AMD processors for the last 3 years and have been really happy with their price/performance. However, I'm not against looking at Pentiums this time around.
The fun part, do I have enough time to read up and make a decision before this system craps out!
