    No website for that, really. Just people like up can help you. Some PC magazines have an article here and there...

        well a good mobo would be one that is socket 939 and has a PCI-Express x 16 slot on it, and then an AMD 64 would be the best processor (get whichever one of those is in your budget), and then get 1 gig or more of ram, corsair is a good brand (i use geIl it works great), and then for a graphics card and Nvidia 6800 or 7800 or an ATI X1800 will be great w/ a good power supply and all the other little parts to make it work that would be a good gaming comp.

                Tigerdirect is a pain in the ass. Especially their rebates, which you never get.

                Newegg all the way.

                  LOL@Alienware. They are the biggest ripoffs. My computer cost a few thousand more through them than what I paid for it.
