Do not get a celeron under any circumstances! In september AMD should have released its Athlon64's, and that will push down the price of Barton core athlon xps. I would have to recommend getting a barton/nforce2 (non-integrated graphics version). But hey, I cant know what will be out by september so Im just going by roadmaps (and those can change).

puting a computer together is actually pretty easy. Most everything is labeled and its just a matter of putting it in place. for parts there are lots of good sites to use, one that i havent seen posted yet is www.tigerdirect.com

Heh, I'm planning on building my own comp too...except starting in June prolly so it's ready for the next school year...thanks for giving me a headstart on the kind of stuff I need to do, and the sites to visit =)

Hope that if I post my list here you guys wouldn't mind giving me some input on it too.

One thing I could use some advice on is video cards...geforce or radeon, which should I be looking at right now?

Int, I just went out and got a Radeon 9k pro 128mb not too long ago.

Its a great card, and pretty cheap now that the 9700 is out. Some people are die hard Gforce fans though, and I have to admit they are pretty sweet.

Anyway, my recommendation is Radeon.....

Good list blown65. I've used many of those sites listed. All are good spots for information. I have build/rebuilt a dozen or so using their articiles as a reference. #Robot
