from what i've heard, newegg ships pretty fast. as for your computer, you might want to invest in a better case/powersupply since cheap ones tend to crap out, and you might wanna get a better processor heatsink/fan too. i have also heard of problems with ecs motherboards although i have two and haven't had a problem. but overall, everything looks good.

Get a 939 AMD instead, the price increase shouldn't be much, and it will give you a better choice in motherboards as well. Get a pci-e videocard as well. "Wave of the Future"

Infact, go to www.greenlyph.com. Everything is in Canadian prices, and you can build amazing computers there. It's based in Halifax where i live though. Very reliable, and even if you're not buying, still good to see what's what.

not bad if your on a budget, you'll be able to play all the good games, except maybe the newest ones such as BF2 for sure and possible anything halflife 2 related. Dunno if your planning on gaming or not, but if so you'll be able to play the majority of the games no sweat.
