1. go to newegg.com and get all your hardware
2. amd's rawk. i use them in my two desktops at the house.
3. they cook eggs faster than an AD1000. get a volcano or similar fan, spend the 20-30$ on one, you will need it. also, get the arctic silver shit, it really works.
4. asus mobo's are some of the best imho. run the asus probe if you get one, you can monitor your system status, temps, speeds, voltages, etc.
5. go see ratdog!
