To Rob or anyone who can help.

I want to use it for: games (mainly), College work, Surfing, email,etc.

Where can I find sites to test my rig when I complete it, i mean like heat, harddrives, cpu, graphics,etc.

ONLY PART NOT NEEDED IS GRAPHICS GARD! PCIexpress16x 256mb ddr3 geforce 7600gt. AND HAVE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE.

What sites are good for monitoring prices of cpus, components, and where can I find how old a component is for the 6month sweet spot?

AMD processor
Crucial ram
Sound card-optional
Screen LCD 19 wide sounds good
good cpu cooling stuff, quiet
Case
MOBO
Power supply, does more power hurt your components?
Exhaust fan
SATA hard drives, or IDE option to save money possibly, list both.

Total cost: Please all suggestions for rigs from tiger, or newegg.com, or another reputable company.

Thanks a million, I know im noobie, but I am trying. Thanks
