x3 other than newegg the other place i order from is tiger direct because at times they get some killer deals on cases and processor/mb combo's (usually rebates involved). newegg has a ton of higher end gear and is avialable at a really good price all the time.

Check out TigerDirects open box / remanufactured specials. Crazy low priced stuff. I got my ThermalTake 420 watt PSU for $30.

If that RAM you have isnt PC3200 or higher, its going to cause you to run the memory at a lower speed. Get matching memory, and run it in dual channel. It is much faster that way.

this is the standard one i have and it just went out friday, sparks blew out the back fan of the power supply, and ibuypower is sending me another, i wanted to upgrade but they had no other option besides me paying for it all myself, it was that one for free or another for whatever i want to pay

ibuypower is very expensive. In most cases, I was able to match and build for 30% cheaper at LEAST. I suggest you buy parts (all) from newegg.com. Great packaging, tracking # provided within 24 hours, great customer service, easy RMA.

Amazing company. Cheap prices.

P.S. - Stick to either a thermaltake or an antec PSU. NEVER buy an off brand. Antecs silent series is amazing.
