A $75 processor isn't going to process audio very well. You are building a special purpose machine so you have to use the right components. You need a fast processor with a lot of cache and a pro audio card. You aren't going to get a $75 AMD or Intel that you will be happy with.

If all you are going to use it for is playing music that's already been recorded and processed, then don't even build, just buy a $299 Dell bargain basement special and throw an Audigy sound card into it. If this computer is going to be part of the recording/mixing process, then you need the right tools and a Sempron/Celeron and a consumer audio card ain't gonna cut it.
