Need A Good Site For Mobo/cpu/ram Bundle

DOOManiac

<div class="IPBDescription">for my Mom's new PC</div>My mom's computer is getting on in age (a slow 750mhz processor w/ only 384MB ram), so she wants to upgrade. She was going to go buy some crappy computer for $500 but I talked her out of it so she can save a couple hundred dollars but also volunteered to find her a good bundle then assemble it for her.

Needless to say my mom is NOT in need of top-of-the-line hardware w/ the fastest whatevers. I was thinkin just get her an AMD or Celeron (whichever is cheaper) 2ghz (or AMD's phony benchmark equavilant) + a <u>stable</u> mobo w/ onboard video + 512MB PC2100, as her hard drive & cd-rom and everything in the computer now are fine. Maybe a cheap cdrw for cd burning as I'm sure she'd like to learn to do that someday. Other than that though everything like her HDD and FDD and sound card are fine.

Any suggestions on 1) what brands to buy 2) where to buy them (preferably from a site w/ a bundle of all 3 things for my convenience)

Thanks.

Oh and US only sites please, I don't wanna mess w/ having stuff imported.

Summary of linky: in a massively thorough benchmark of several processors that retail under 100$ apeice, the Duron 1.6ghz and the pentium 1.8ghz beat the celeron 2.6ghz in every single test. The Athlon XP 2500 or 2600 won every single test.

www.newegg.com has most stuff... I've built 2 computers from there and they have been fine.

I've also had good luck with Asus motherboards. They seem pretty stable.

They also have any CPU you'd ever want.. and RAM and monitor and all.
