I try to stay awar from the best deals on pricewatch based on prior expeirences. These companies are not as reputable. Also when ordering from that many companies you are almost assured that one of them is going to screw up and you will not be able to test the system until you get most of the parts. I suggest buying as many parts as possible from one vendor. You could get the motherboard, cpu, and hard drive from www.mwave.com for the same amount ($555) after you include the savings on shipping. Mwave does not have the best prices but they are relatively good. This way many of your parts will be shipped together and you can test them all at the same time, and complain to only one vendor if they screw up. I think it is good advice.
Oh yeah, the athlon at mwave is an athlon b so it may be different than the cpu you have listed since you don't know what it is(it is probably an athlon b as well).
