I will prabably be using ubuntu, but might get vista premium(if can find enough cash), if there are any ubuntu compatibility issues, please post those!

What are you going to do with the PC?
If you just do some surfing web/ downloading, onboard GPU is OK.
If you want to play some game, however, 8800GS is the min. requeirement IMO.
 
well, it will be a computer for websurfing, homework, some games, but if i can afford any games that excede onboard video, i will probably also be able to afford a good gpu. But i do know that this computer needs to be dual core. Also, do you know if i should just go intel and get a pentium dual core, b/c i here they are VERY GOOD overclokers. If i go intel, i would probably get the 2.0 or the 1.8ghz petium dual core.

I think intel is the way to go, but it is slightly expensive
 
Here is an Intel version:

Mobo:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186138

Ram:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161198

PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148027

Does anyone think i need to get an aditional cooler for the cpu? 1 reveiwer said he was able to oc to 3.0ghz with stock coolling.
And, oscaryu1, could you give a link to the card you were talking about?

1.Does anyone know the power-hockups on the psu that oscaryu1 suggested?

2.Will the mobo he selected work with an e2160, b/c the cpu fsb is 800mhz, and the mobo only supports 1333/1066mhz?
 
1. I have one in my sig. 24pin with a 12V 4 pin connector... SATA connector... and there's more. Powering everything in my sig. And take in mind, that HD3850 is not energy conserving ;)

2. Yes, it will automatically adjust to it.
