if you are in US, go to www.newegg.com or www.tigerdirect.com

if you are in Canada, www.directcanada.com or www.tigerdirect.com

if you are in UK, www.ebuyer.co.uk

im not sure about the Canada or UK but I have seen people order from these retailer... or worse comes to worse, you can always go to your local computer shop but the price will be higher than the online retailer.

The extra allocation here goes to an upgraded CPU cooler, bringing the harddrive back to 500GB as well as a new motherboard (and also switching to RAM that generally works better with that board) and a significant PSU upgrade.

That doesn't include a monitor, or Operating system. The graphics card would be a bit overkill.

Id go with a 7950 or x1950 or 8600 instead of an 8800 as this would cut a lot of costs so you could buy windows if wanted
