uhhhh...... AM, im willing to bet that synt has NO clue what ur talking about in the majority of ur post ;p
my advice: since you seem to lack the technical knowledge (yes, it is an assumption, but probably a correct one) to build your own computer, i suggest going to a computer show where you can get the aZns to build you a pretty good comp for around the price ur asking... they will custom build it, so go in knowing which mobo, cpu, vid card, etc. u want.
i personally like athlons, but if you want a p4 go ahead and get it (it is ur money after all). but either way, i suggest you get an Abit motherboard, just cuz they rock. i also think you should get one of the better video cards... either geforce4 ti4200 or geforce4 ti4400... you should get a good 2 years out of those before they suck
another advantage of buying from comp show is that they usually have a 30-60 day warranty, so if ur mobo, memory, cpu, etc. is bad, they will replace it. and if they don't, u still get the manufacturers warranty to fall back on. building urself u only get the manufacturers warranty.
oh well... just my $.02
