iso sites that compare components and discuss possible compatibility issues.

I am starting from square 1 here, but I have always wanted to do this.

for buying, I know newegg. I meant more for making sure things will be compatible (i.e. conflicting drivers, enough space in case for now and future things, items that are more expensive but provide little benefit over a cheaper item, etc).

Gonna do my taxes tonight I think so will know my budget.

I am also building one..havent since hard drives were ide and pentium was just a pentium 100. So were in the same boat.

If you have a comp usa close to you they are going out of business. I picked up a gigabyte brand atx mid tower w/ 400 watt power supply for 63.99 same is on new egg w/ a 350 watt supply and is 79.99 w/15.99 shipping. So I would highly suggest picking up a case locally. Also picked up a 22x dvd/cd burner w/ lightscribe for 49.99. The rest of the hardware was not so much of a deal.
