here is what im looking to buy:
Chieftec Matrix MA-01WD Full-tower case w/ PSU
80G/B 7200 RPM Hard drive
Kingston 512M/B DDR333 Ram
MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Socket A ATX Mobo
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 M/b
AMD Athlon XP Barton 2800+ CPU
Thumb screws cant leave home with out them
DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive
Win xp home

if you have any sites itd be greatly appreciated, ive been savin money up for a year now so i am not gonna waste my money so all help is greatly appreciated.

www.newegg.com

Also get the 2500+ and overclock it. 2800 = waste of money IMHO.

Also chaintech mobos are really nice for the price.

I have the same case in black & silver. The only place I was able to find it was Directron.com http://www.directron.com/ You should be able to find everything there.

Oh yeah..... that is what I am saving for currently...... the 7NJS-ZENITH Ultra......can't wait.

yea well i went to directron earlier this week and i saw the screws were 20 bucks with so i just decided the hell with it i wonder if anyone else has any better sites. thanks guys

also, if i got a 2500+ overclocked it with the heatsink supplied by AMD, would that shorten the life of the proccessor considerably? or would it just be better to get another heatsink?

would agree 2800+ is a waste, a 2500+ will overclock to 3200+ speeds so easily, it souldn't even be called an overclock.
The money you save should be spent on PC3200 memory, or a 9800 Non Pro.
BTW, Abit NF-7 is 79$, 20$ cheaper than the MSI, and is a better Overclocking board.
You mentioned 512 Kingston (87$), only 1 stick? Nforce boards work better with 2 sticks, it then utilizes Dual Channel, and that will give you better memory bandwidth.
Geil is a little bit cheaper, and performs as well or better than Kingston, You can get 2 sticks of PC3200 for 43$ a peice (86$)

Just showing you a few options you might not have looked at, should run faster and save you some money, what more can you ask for

EDIT

The stock HSF will be fine at 3200+ speeds, you can upgrade down the road if you aren't happy with the temps (stay under 50c)
You only shorten a cpu's life if you go crazy with the voltage, stay under 1.8volts and you will be fine. It will become obsolete long before it would ever die

How many thumb screws do you need. They are 4 for $2. http://store.yahoo.com/directron/thumbscrews.html
