CPU's - OEM's only have a very short warranty 2 - 3 months. Where a retail boxed CPU will have a fan and a 2+ year warrantee.

I recommend newegg.com I have purchased way too many computer parts in my life and have had very good luck with newegg.

Let us know how you make out in the end and what parts you purchased and how it runs MOH, CoD and or BF42

Yes but i want to try to stay under $1,000...

Also can anyone reccomend a powersupply for a 2.8 ghz?
