There was a comment above (sorry for taking so long to reply to it) about Athlon64's being more expensive, when in reality the actual "AMD Athlon64" isn't expensive when compared to it's pentium counterparts - the expensive athlon64 is called an "AMD Athlon64FX" and is very NOT recommended :P (it's faster, but there are several reasons besides the fact it costs nearly 2x as much as the regular Athlon64 as to why not to get it <_< )
Bulding your own computer can be cheaper or more expensive depending on how you do it - one thing you definitely need to take note of is how much your chosen OS is going to cost you, and factor that into your comparisons (see too many people say "yea, I spent $500 to build this great computer" - then you ask them about the OS and it's either pirated, or cost them $200 on top of the cost of the parts - and I'm anti-pirating heh).

One who does not know the enemy but knows himself will sometimes win, sometimes lose.
One who does not know the enemy and does not know himself will be in danger in every battle.
