Richard,
AnandTech.com has excellent reviews of all the DIY components, including processors, boards, power supplies, even cases. Good place to start.
Don't forget to leave room for a good SSD!

I was looking for a beefy quad core system and my brother convinced me that the cost savings and customizability makes it well worth the time to assemble the parts.

So I'm curious: How many of you here have built your own computers? Did you go with a barebones, or do it from scratch? Did you go with Intel or AMD, and why?

I'm leaning toward AMD myself given what appears to be an excellent price/performance value, and will likely build from scratch because I'm picky about the case.

Seems a surprising number of people I know build their own systems, kinda makes me wonder why I ever bought an off-the-shelf PC.
