 256mb ram definately no good.. and make sure your monitor can run at least 1600x1200, minimum.

You can go with any generic cheap CPU, and throw in a stick of 512. It should cost you next to nothing if you already have the monitor.

Windows XP will not run well with 256 ram. Make sure video card has digital out. Get something like a Samsung 204b or a Dell 2007FP for a monitor.
You will find that if you buy the system in pieces and get the computer shop to assemble it for you, you will get better parts and get better performance from the machine.
