X2 4000+ /or 4200+ is recommandable and they are quite cheap.

meh id still suggest that bundle from frys. it works out cheaper for a pretty decent board and a better processor

For a video card I strongly suggest against the 8600 as they literally suck for gaming. Try and snag a hd3850 if you can find it, Performance is a lot better

Of course better a 3850, if it fits in the budget no question about it.... i said the 8600GT because with it you can play with high settings at a 1024X768 res.
