You might read this before attempting to build a computer.

http://www.tigerdire.....u=C460-1022 TThe two shortcomings in this barebone kit is the Nforce 2 chipset, which is already slightly dated, and that it has very few USB ports. The sempron processor is like a intel celeron, but that can be changed to a Athlon XP for a price. It supports up to a athlon 3000 processor. It also is limited to 8X AGP, but until SLI graphics cards start coming down in price, i really don't think this is a bad thing.
If you like Intel processors this one is pretty good.

If you would rather buy the parts and assemble the puter heres some sites i use and have had no problems with.

http://www.pricewatch.com/I would not deal with any company that is not 80% or better there. Even some of the better rated companys can be a bit slow shipping items you have paid for. Newegg is the class champ on fast shipping and they are the best on returning damaged items.
