Just ordered the Corsair 1Gig that you suggested. cant wait to get started on this thing! Thanks to all who posted on this thread with their advice. Once I'm over my head putting it all together you'll probably see me back on here.
when you start building it, just keep in mind that static destroys electroncis, so when you start workin in the case, always make sure part of your skin is touching the case.

Using a strap is essentially foolproof, but it's far from mandatory. As long as you touch the case's metal frame rail periodically, especially after walking across carpet, you should be in good order.
I'm an absolute yob when it comes to PC's and I found this post incredibly informative, easy to understand, packed with great advice and tips on choosing decent hardware.
I got more out of this post than spending hours reading technical jargon.
I hope to be able to call on the pro's in SM when I build up my next rig

Don't sweat it. I don't consider it a hijack. I can't speak for Arno, but I did not become proficient with computer hardware all on my own. The prececessor forum to this one was instrumental in my training! Even the experts here (of which I do not consider myself) frequently ask questions. Regardless of your skill level, there's something for you here. I don't say this as a moderator - I say it as a community member who appreciates technical assistance just as much as the greenest noob.

until then enjoy your holiday!
Leo, Arno hats off to you guys!!
