Ok I have narrowed it down to these possibilities....

$308.85 - mobo(dfi lanparty), cpu (sempron 3100), ram ($37) and video card ($40) with two year mobo and cpu warranty from monarchcomputer

$270.30 - mobo (very bad no oc), amd 64 3000+, ram ($37) and video card ($40) from Fry's

$294.95 - mobo, cpu (amd 64 3000+ 939) with onboard xpress200 video, ram ($37) from monarchcomputer

$307.67 - ok mobo, sempron 3100 cpu, 1 gig of ram, leadtech 6200 GPU and cpu has 1 year warranty.

$277 - mobo and amd 64 3400+ (with TD rebate 🙁 ) , 512mb ram ($37), and video card ($70)


*NOTE* Monarchcomputer comes with two free games and napster---resale value = $30.
 
Wrong forum and I would say the Monarch deal, then shell out some extra for a 6600gt or something if you don't already have a card.
 
hmmm...

I was in a same boat.. and I got lucky .. 🙂

I got Winnie 3000 939 a64 from monarch for $113 shipped 😉
I got Asus A8v 939 mobo from Newegg for $62 shipped (refurbished, Lucky part is, that it works perfectly fine so far 😉)
Asus is going to ship me the missing accessories... 🙂

so far I've o/ced 3000 to 2.4ghz stable. running prime and 3dmarks and such..

so I've spent $175 for good mobo cpu combo that'll carry me over 🙂

but from your choices... I would go with 3rd choice. what mobo is that?
