Go for a GF4 Ti4200 64MB - GREAT performance vs price :thumb:
I've heard you can OC it to 4600 performance (never needed any more performance on mine!)
They outperform the 128MB model in almost every catagory. I love mine... good product. Forget Radeon or the MX series(just a weaksauce pumped GF2!::thumbs do )
$131 (free shipping!) BUY IT HERE
I would also strongly suggest that you take a long look at an Athalon CPU. I honestly don't know why anyone buys intel chips... why don't you just bend over :snip:
What HD are you going for? There are some killer hard drives at great prices out there!

ABIT TH7II INTEL 850 ATX MOTHERBOARD - RETAIL Supports Intel Pentium 4 socket 478 processor. Supports up to Four 184-pin Direct Rambus RIMM modules up to 2GB (PC600/800). Supports 400MHz system bus. NO OnBoard LAN - NO RAID. Model#: TH7II
This means that the only type of RAMBUS I can put in is PC600/800?

It is very often your best bet to get a PSU/Case combo. I just bought a case (that has the indentical case guts as yours - made by the same company) For only 40$ more than the power supply costs ALONE! Shipping included!.
Look at directron.com, they have alot of very similar cases, with different power supplies....

Get the Abit TH7II w/ PC800 RAM, and a p4 1.8a. You will still get great performance out of that. Also as a video card, i would get either a GF3 Ti200 or Radeon 7500 but that is because i dont believe spending lots of money on video cards, anyway the human eye is not capable of seeing the difference between 75FPS and 175FPS, which makes any GeForce 4 Ti series card useless to me, thats just a personal opinion

Just got the mobo today, rest of the parts will be here on monday. I can't wait, LOL.
I looked at the mobo, theres so many switches on it. I'm wondering if it will be hard to configure? I have to read the factory manual.
Also, when installing the p4 + heatsink on monday, do I have to use some kind of compound ? I heard people use something..
