Have you been shopping at Pricewatch? www.pricewatch.com

Yes, i shop at pricewatch.

What's the best site? Newegg.com is good, but they rape me on taxes since i'm in ca.

Gigabyte or asus?

Can you tell me the best gigabyte board? One for around 100-200 for a motherboard.

Where in ca? I'm in MN a few hours south of the border, ship it here and I'll meet you at customs ;)

I'm using an MSI K8N Diamond in my gaming machine, it's a great mobo. Go with PCIe for graphics and I'd also say use 2 x 1GB ram modules.

And if you want fast loading times get a 74GB raptor.

Actually I would recommend 2gigs... why save when you want the best and Rams are so cheap?

Go with a 500w power supply. 2G of ram, ATA hard drives. fast chip, nice motherboard. Big case with extra fans. My home built computers are sweet and never give me problems.
