I'm in just a bit over my head. I've never built my own computer. What's the
best processor this will run? Same question on memory. Where should I buy?

Any reason I can't just put all this in my old P3 box, reuse power supply,
case, HD, FD,CD, cables etc. Is this an extremely difficult job, or a piece
of cake?

Prescott 3.4 (Socket 478) is likely the best processor to use without
going nuts. It should fit in your P3 ATX box but will most likely
require a new power supply. Use ddr333 (or DDR266) RAM.
