    Now - Ima go hit up newegg and tigerdirect and see what its gonna cost me in parts for a new build.... hmmmm.... maybe I can sell this one to my younger brother.... hehe.

    Radunas - is there a particular mobo on the market today which you would recommend? sufficient to run what I need now with capabilities for upgrade down the track... haha been a while since I've built and technology is changing that quick these days....
    No prob man, I'm just bored at work, and always want to permeate the 'help your fellow gamers' attitude, especially with a brand new game with tons of issues! I want to give a good image of the type of people that play, in a forum where most people come to piss and moan. (not you )

    Personally, the way I shop newegg is:

    Processor I want, see what slot it is (AM3+/whatever), then go for the mobo, taking into consideration what video card i want to put in there and make sure it is compatable, then throw some RAM (also checking mobo specs for compatabilities with speeds/size), pick your HD, DVD burner and wrap it in a nice affordable case with multiple cooling options and ability to access the BACK of the mobo to add water cooling either on the first build or the 2nd upgrade.

    And truly, most of my decisions are made from all of the customer reviews on newegg's product pages. They are the best way to survey whatever product you're looking at for innate issues (high level of DoAs), general usage (gaming/media/office), and user experience/rating.

    Amazon is cool too, but I like to buy my tech from tech sites, not a walmart of the internet. Also, returns and RMAs are more efficient through a company that has more direct ties to the manufacturer than a site like amazon. But, I've never purchased products from them for my personal PC parts so I can't speak directly to that process.

    From what I've heard from my tech friends Amazon return policy is a lot more friendly than newegg or tiger. NTM there's no difference between buying it from Amazon or buying it from newegg, saying that there is, is a load of BS, as long as you buy it new. Thats like saying my Miracle Whip is going to be a better quality if i buy it new at a dedicated grocery store rather than walmart.
