Best Linux Distro?

[BrianG]

I would build from Newegg parts, but I get it all assembled, the OS (even though I probably won't use Win7), and the certainty that all the things I pick work well together. I'd just like something decent without breaking the bank that I can upgrade once maybe twice.

Then ibuypower would probably be the place to go. As I previously stated, I've had great luck with my computer from them, and I thought the whole idea of being able to pick and choose exactly what I wanted was nice, and they seem to have a selection of components for any budget really. Plus, you can get a monitor and fancy gaming mouse and keyboard and various stuff like that direct from when buying a comp too.

Ehh, it's pretty hard to get something that doesn't work well together now-a-days.

If you don't already, I think it's an awesome weekend project to build a computer.
I thought you already knew? :X

Well, honestly, I think you'd be better off with something around an i5, or if you want to go years.. an i7, maybe an ATI 5750, that thing would power almost anything.. A good 4-8GB would last forever.
