I have decided that is the cheapest place if you choose AMD but either way if you want to really start from scratch what is your budget ? Also its easy to build a comp. The stuff you buy always has easy how to manuals and same with the software. The challenging part is when you run into a problem or you dont know how to access your bios. But its all really simple and i enjoyed my building my first two comps.

So Whats your budget?

949$ no more than that

Check out under Gamer's Weekly Special. You can get decent cpu with MS Media center and a vista coupon. Along with couple of free games and a nice 3 year limited warranty and i think even lifetime tech support. All under $650 you can save your remaining 250 possilbe on upgrading a better VGA, HD's, Monitor, Sound Card. Ibuypower is cheap with the small upgrades that help other then runing everything from the mobo. Am gana get my bro one of the gamer's special. Up the HD space from 160 to 250 for like 5 bucks more. And getting him a 7300 GS othe then the mobos Nvidia 6200 for $12. He already has a monitor so all that im buying for 747$.

Also im just sharing this because its got its advantages for those who want to save some money and benifit from this site aswell.

So yeah i think with your budget you can do alot of things.

Am gana suggest to go with name brands on importnat stuff like Your MOtherBoArds, Memory And or Hard drives. For those spend sometime to read about and try to buy something others have tryed/are popular becuase if you run into a problem it could be similar to someone who already delt with andpost it like in a site like this.

I would just suggest looking up an ASUS mobo that will perform/is suggested to work well with that asus video card. Asus fine tunes their stuff when are compatible and you can get alot more bang for your buck if you spend that time and effort.
