A build around an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T will be adequate for your work.. For a complete build suggestion, we need to know your budget..

No constraint on budget.

amd 965 x4 will do the trick... just ensure you have 6GB + RAM and you will have no problem.

X6 1055T is good too, but i think x6 1075T or 1090T is better option if you wana go hex due to higher clock

if you wana consider intel, then quad core i5 would be ok

I don't see anything you run needing the horsepower being recommending.

XP pro won't see anything over about 3.5Gb's of ram (you didnt say you use the 64 bit edition) for example.

Any current build will run that stuff fine, just make sure the motherboard you want actually has drivers for XP available.
