You will need:
*A power supply (One w/ enough watts to support your whole system)
*Mother Board
*Case
*Processor(One that will fit your motherboard)
*Processor Fan(Make sure it is the same socket as your CPU and will provide suffiect cooling)
*Hard Drive
*Video Card
*CD/DVD Drive
*Sound Card(If your motherboard does not have it built in)
*NIC/56k modem(This is for your internet a NIC if it is cable or DSL, 56k if you have dial-up)
*Operating System(Windows 2000, Windows XP [I recommend PRO])
*RAM(Make sure it is the same type the your motherboard excepts, such as DDR or SDRAM and PC2700 or PC3000)
I think that is all, if you use MSN or Yahoo I can help you more there, my MSN is yano4302@msn.com and my Yahoo is yanoanemone

Here is some stuff the I recommend buying.(None of this stuff is really needed buy I would look into this stuff.)
*Arctic Silver 3 - This stuff is MUCH better then the stuff the usually bundle w/ the CPU fan. http://www.arcticsilver.com/as3.htm
*ROUND IDE Cables - This is MUCH better than the standerd flat IDE cables that are used for CD/DVD drive, Hard Drive and floppy disk drive, since they are round they will not block airflow as much, this does help keep the airflow in your PC good http://shop1.outpost.com/{P0FrNPNJvFeXBvGBBiT3Rbru6vsklODjP2RRux1MfoWK9RrpkRo2|-9203762677279257287/184095265/6/7001/7001/7002/7002/7001/-1|-531786210462933394/184095264/6/7001/7001/7002/7002/7001/-1|1061251892564}/product/3670585
*Electrical Tape or those tie things that come w/ trash bags. This will keep all those wires inside and outside of your PC nice and tidy.
