Check out www.pricewatch.com
They have good deals on computer stuff there.
For the price of a processor, you may be able to get a whole computer there. They have just about anything you need.
Other sources for computer stuff are directron.com & aaronix.com. These are the 3 sites I usually buy from. They are all trustworthy.

Hey Seanyb, I recommend a Soyo Dragon Pro motherboard for you.
Check out the specs on it vs the Asus board before you actually buy it. They have very good reviews. You may even want to put the extra in and step the processor up to the AMD 64 chip. Thats the one I am building next. Its gonna be one sweet system.

- Antec SmartBlue 350w ATX PSU with Blue LED's
- Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 PRO Socket 754 K8T800 Gigabit Lan Firewire 1394 USB2 FSB800 Serial ATA133
- AMD (Newcastle) Athlon 64 Bit 3000/512 l2 Cache 754pin CPU
- Kingston 1gb 400MHz DDR Non-ECC CL3 (3-3-3) DIMM (Kit 2)
- Hightech ATI Radeon 9600XT 256MB AGP x8
- Pioneer 107 8x DVD Dual R/rw Ide Burner (black)

The 3000 out performs the 3200. Thats the reason I dont want to pay an extra £20/80
