Motherboard: As it is there is a debate on which motherboard is the best between two of friends. So far one looks like it has everything the other has and more. Here they are:

Processor: I've been directed toward these two, a 3200 and a 3000. There's about a $40 price difference and not that much of a difference in performance. I'm not sure which to get though, or if I should even get either:

RAM: Well, I want to go for 1GB in ram as a starter. I'm a bit power hungry in this area. From what I've been told, you can never have too much RAM, providing your computer can handle it, of course. I was also told Corsair is the best brand in RAM, so I looked into it. Here's one I found that was pretty cheap, but I don't know why it's so cheap compared to another one with the same amount:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-450&depa=1 "That's the cheapest good RAM for corsair", is what I've been told.
Hard Drive: Western Digital. That's what I hear is the best brand for hard drives. I'd to go for a 200 gig (I'm also a bit power hungry in that area, I don't quite know why) but that might be overkill. I do intend to go for another, alternate hard drive to keep safe my valuable data. I also hear you need a SCSI motherboard or Raid card for you to access the whole 200 gigabytes, otherwise it only recognizes 137. But the ASUS motherboard above says it has an onboard Raid with it. So it should recognize the full bit of memory, right? I also hear a retail version of the hard drives that are over 140 come with cards that let's you read your full memory. But here, listed, there is a cheaper one at NewEgg.com:

Heat Sink: Even with those six fans I hear I need a heat sink regardless. I've been reccomended two, one I've been told is overkill and the other just right:

CD/DVD Burner Drives: I've been told having more than one drive is a bit useless (Unless copying data from CD to CD) since you really only need one all purpose drive. I might get another later on... but for starters this one seems pretty good:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-151-051&depa=0
Video Card: I've been told to get the video card last. I also notice that video cards tend to become very, very expensive. I was told about a top of the line $400 card. But wow is that a lot of money. It may be worth it...but still. I don't know too much about video cards, though. I was directed toward one but I also hear some bad things directed toward it simply because it's a third party piece of equipment. Here it is, if you wish to take a look:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-145-072&depa=1
So far that's everything, aside from basics like a mouse/keyboard/monitor, that I need. If I forgot to include something please let me know and other misc. Oh, and thanks in advance.
