Before doing anything, read this:

http://www.computing.net/cpus/wwwboard/forum/12855.html

Get a board based on the nForce4 Ultra or nForce4 SLi chipset. If you don't plan on ever running 2 video cards in SLi, there's no point paying for it. Look at what's being offered by DFI (LANPARTY or INFINITY series) or MSI

Hellz Yea!

If you are looking for something very stable and easily overclockable, definitely go with DFI.

ChiefValue currently has a DFI LanParty UT nF4-D for $117.99 shipped to your door.

Dell? More like move over any namebrand pc, because custom made is the way to go. Namebrand pc's are for people that can't build pc's.

Hey Cobra,

I know people that can build PC's that have bought OEM system's and people who can't that own custom built rigs.

There are some variable to the VAR equation...;-)

I see what you are saying, but i would never go back to a OEM pc. Nothing like aftermarket. :)
