If you are going Intel: 
Asus P4P800 is cheap(ish) and good. 
Asus P4C800E Deluxe is widely regarded as one of the best but it is pricier.
Get a P42.8C/3.0C processor and 1 - 2 GB of DDR400 (brand name)
Decent case and powersupply is a very good idea IMHO

If you are going AMD there are a bunch of choices according to processor
(Athlon/Athlon64) 
RME forums - rme-audio.forum on  news.x-networks.de has recommendations
from users on what to choose.
You could also look on www.TomsHardware.com/Anandtech.com for recomendations. 

The choice could depend on your sound hardware and what is working for
people with that card/Interface.
