ABout 90% of the first million results you get when typing "Computer parts" in google and hitting search.

Alienware may look nice and have big words, but they are overpricing REALLY HARD.

Seriously, if you build your own, you can probably be around $500 cheaper, then if you would've bought from alienware.
Unless you don't know anything about computers, I wouldn't recommend alienware.
(Or voodoo/northwest falcon/dell xps for that matter

Where do you live? U.S., Canada, U.K. or Australia?

Newegg.com for U.S.
NCIX.com for Canada.
I forget the other 2 though.

Steer clear of alienware unless you have a TON of money. Alienware, while good machines, are overpriced. They market primarily to rich folks and elitests.

Stick to Newegg.com and TigerDirect.com.

If you have the patience to wait a month or so to start building, between these two sites, you can probably build your machine for a few hundered less. Their front page sales change almost daily.

PS. Unless you're building a monster, I reccomend the ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe model motherboard.

Just make sure you have a case with a lot of holes in it. Number one cause of hardware failure? (Not counting stupid people) is prolonged minor overheating.
