    Try www.froogle.co.uk - I just tracked down a cheap dual VGA card. Cheaper than eBay.

    I was looking at these prices, they seem to be higher then at a downtown shop around here, tiny tiny shop too. I had to convert the money to Canadian dollar and it seems its more of a bargain here. While getting a new comp I looked at obvious places like ebay and there was always odd numbers added somewhere, i'd say go shop around for parts individually if you have time.

    I don't know any cheap online computer store but I know a computer shop near to us that offer pcs and related items at a very affordable price.

    It's there that I bought most of my stuff.

    #1 Newegg http://www.newegg.com as others have already brought up, great company, I do lots of business with them, great support.

    #2 Tiger Direct http://www.tigerdirect.com some good deals, rebates, etc

    #3 Zip Zoom Fly http://www.zipzoomfly.com

    You may save a few bucks elsewhere but is a few bucks worth the hassle of possibly inferior service and not knowing what you get especially when buying a processor?

    Do yourself a favor and buy AMD. The Athlon kicks intel's cpu to the curb any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I know you can't with this motherboard, but it's good advice for the future. :)

    I used to be a firm believer in AMD over intel, however heat problems and chip burn outs made me switch to Intel fully. The only AMD I run now is my 1600+ for my garage system. Guess it depends on the luck you've had with one manufacturer or the other, I myself however would never buy an AMD again. I realise they finally have some built in heat protection but after about 5 fried AMD chips and never having an Intel EVER fry on me makes me rather spend the few extra bucks :) I used to have cyrix's as well, never had any of those fry either even with torturing them. Maybe I just had bad experiences with AMD, but then why do all my friends who run them have heat issues no matter the cooling they run?

    Asking this for a reason, are the new AMD's running smoother than the olders ones say 1 gig chips to 3000+'s as these are the ones I have experience with.
