+1 on newegg. The other I'd recommend is .Geeks is another good site. Nearly any distro out there could handle the bulk of what you want.

if you are looking for a computer to run linux on, and you want a decent computer, I would install linux on your current computer, and build a nice new one for windows. I am a Gentoo junky myself, but I am not going to kid myself, the only reason for a powerful new computer, is to play games, and the only way you are going to play most games without a huge headache, is windows, the 2ghz you ahve now, is MORE than powerful enough for a linux desktop with a signifigant amount of double duty as a home server.
Edit: As an alternative, to save a bit of money, if you are just curious about linux, and want to experience it a bit, keep your current computer, and get a couple livecd distros. http://www.elivecd.org/ one of the prettiest LiveCD's available. http://www.knoppix.org/ another extremely good liveCD distro.

You want to try linux hm..Do this: Athlon XP 2xxx+, nForce 2 motherboard (make sure it has the onboard video) now you've just taken out the hardest thing to get working. Uumm..a nice In-Win tower, don't know how you connect to the net so I'll leave that to you.

A tip which might be outdated, is do not get an ATI card. Get an NVidia. ATI has had terrible driver support in the past. I'm not sure if they still do, but I learned my lesson and will never buy another ATI.
