    I would go with a 939 socket AMD 64 3500+ with a SLI Board instead of a P4.

    I agree. Also you may want to save yourself some money and build it yourself or have a friend throw it together if you dont know how.

    As soon as you said alien ware it made it bad, they over price everything. If you know how to put together a computer contact me and ill give you a nice list of parts for a good price (and I looked the alien ware monthly payment is basically signing up for a credit card provided by them) and if you don’t know how to build your own pc you may want to look into it as its often cheaper and allows you to know more about your computer and computers in general; and its fun ^_^
