Ill put this here because I know you guys in this subforum are legit 
Alright, as some of you have come to know, I am getting a new rig. While it may seem as easy as picking the components, its really not in my case. I am a 16 year old kid, and my dad said that since my current lappy (inspiron 9300) is bugging out, I can sell it, or take the xps m170 Dell is offering me as an upgrade FO FREE (or i can sell that one too). Another option is to get a computer from monarch and have them build it for me because he likes the warranty. The specs would be opty 165, dfi ultra d, 2gb ocz pc4000, ocz powerstream 520, xtrememusic xfi, 74 gig raptor, 7900gt, ect. I tried to convince him to let me build my own computer but he wouldnt budge. Finally, he gave in and said I could do it during the summer where it wont interfere with school (yeah, I know). I can probably let him let me do it during spring break though. So, this leads me to my question. With all the talk of conroe owning, should i just wait until then, or should I get this socket939 rig from monarch, or should I build this s939 rig during spring break. All is good and dandy if i wait for conroe all together, but would it just be better to get the opty rig and upgrade to quad core when it comes out? Im planning on keeping this rig for a while. So, what do you think i should do?
I was pretty much set on getting the rig from monarch as I have called them a bunch of times and worked it out. It was yesterday that he said I could build my rig during the summer. Now, I think that building it during spring break (2 weeks from now) will be the best option as I will have a "owning rig" for now, and I can just change the mobo, ram, when quad core comes out when I really "need" it. What do you think?
Thanks,

BTW, the rig at monarch is about the same as building it myself, the only difference is a $75 shipping fee (which may be the same as ordering everything seperately) and an $80 2 year warranty.
