It turns out that Gocomp is about half a km from my house and it's prices look decent so I'll probably go through them. So far I've worked from the Whirlpool $1500 rig with some adjustments
CPU: AMD Phenom II 945
Mobo: Gigabyte MA785GT-UD3H $108
RAM: 4GB DDR3 (brand? does it matter)
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB $105 (will probably double this)
GPU: 1GB ATI Radeon HD5850
Case: SilverStone Raven RV02 (looks cool butwill probably go for a more modestly priced case, any suggestions or strong feelings)
PSU: AcBel 510W PSU (sufficient?)
ODD: Sony-NEC Optiarc AD-7240S $39 (not too fussy about this as long as it works)
CPU HSF: Noctua NH-U12P SE2 $95 (no idea about this, suitable?)
ANYTHING ELSE I NEED, SHOULD CONSIDER OR CHANGE?
Once again thanks for all the help.
