Not actually what I am looking for. I want to find sites that I can choose from the components, and they build it, and then send it to me.

I am building it myself, I just want to look into these places. I have all the components already picked out, and ready to purchase, but I want to get a few more ideas before I go and buy these parts.

The only sites I trust.

Or you find a part you want and go to http://www.froogle.com and search for it there. I love Froogle.

Frys.com zipzoomfly.com, microcenter.com

what you plan on putting together? I built a killer macine but i never finished it. It was a core 2 quad with the evga 680i 8800gt superclocked, 2 gigs or ram, and a 1tb drive. It is in a dangerden waterbox plus case with watercooling, but i never finished putting it together

Edit, all of my suggestion are DIY. But all you need is a phillips screwdriver and you can install it all yourself.

I was going to go with ATI, but I have never used nVidia, so that's what I chose. If I decide I don't like it, I'll most likely pick up the 4850.

Newegg has been the only place I go to for 6 years now. Even when I had problems with hardware, i had a good experience. Customer service is just top notch. Delivery has always been prompt.

I DIY, so I can't help you with sites that build for you, but I also see no point in them. You newegg it then build it.

If you are not willing to build your own talk to MoT he can probably build you a nice rig cheaper than what you will pay for something with power through a smaller company.

its True.
