Which Ardunio and what other parts will I need

Having an Arduino trigger a sound from an MP3 module and turn on an LED at the same time would be pretty simple.
Some of these have a pin you pull low to trigger one of say 8 sounds, others you send a simple serial message.

Connect the output to a set of selfpowered PC speakers like you might find with a desktop computer sound system.
