ok, so when the time comes, i'll ask for parts. i dont think i have a friend who has built one, but i think i can do it, and i'm prolly not gonna overclock, (i dunno i might) so i'll get decent RAM. 1gb is good right?
best place to go; if you don't live in california, then you gotta buy everything from newegg (i get hit with a 8.25% tax )
this is a really nice ram that's on sale right now, in fact, you could buy it right now and just let it sit until you save up the rest of your money since the ram is on sale (generally the things you'd want to wait for is the processor and video card and mobo)
