Hiya,
Minus i live in the UK and i use Dabs Insight and Redstore
Insight and Dabs i generally use for my main things (Motherboards/CPU/Memory) for lesser things like Soundcards/Speakers etc i use Redstore
Alas i don't know where in the EU you are so i can't be certain that all of them will ship to you
As for pricing i find Insight and Dabs tend to equal each other, But sometimes there is a slight price difference
So far nothing i have had from either has been faulty which is always a blessing and their technical help is good and is only a phonecall away
If you can just use a search engine (i use Dogpile.com) to find online stores in your country
As i said the other night Slots are going out of fashion and Sockets are taking over once more, So check around to see what suits you best
New Sockets with more pins are due out later this year/early next
If you can wait you might want to, If not i cannot fault my Athlon T-Bird as it is so darn good
Titanium
btw i got
Asus A7V M/Board
CreativeLabs GTS2 32meg (fps are just awesome)
192 pc100 ram (soon to be upgraded)
Did get a S/Blaster Live soundcard but i found out in AH my puter locks up !!! i am still trying all different IRQ to pci slot
settings to resolve this
Asus would be my 1st board choice 2nd Abit
As for Athlons search for best price as they are differnet prices from different retailers (i found T-bird 750 prices were upto 40% dearer at some retailers compaired to others !!!) so please shop around
Memory go for the Best you can afford
Videocard well after a banshee 16meg anythings better lol but my GTS2 just does more than what i expected and could of wished for just go for the best you can afford and you won't be dissapointed
tip higher the cpu the better fps from your vidcard
Goodluck
