I recommend an 030/50 or an 060 or 060/PPC. An 040 is an option too but be prepared to add cooling to it. Blizzard boards seem to be accepted as one of the best. With your mediator, of course get a Vodoo video card, a good NIC, and good sound card too. Just compare the models that are included on the driver CD and get the best ones. That should be enough.
Technically though a 020 w/ 6 megs of RAM and a CD-ROM drive is enough to load OS3.9.
