Yes, of course.  I was just hoping to save some money, and
buy a package deal locally.


We have a store here called Computer Deli. It's a locally run
store that sells computer components. You can pick out the mobo,
video card, memory, etc and get exactly what you want with no extra
BS software like you get on the package deals from the computer
companys. If you don't feel like doing the assembly they will do
it for $10! The pricing is only slightly more ($50 - $100)
than the big box stores, but you get *exactly* what you want. Plus
if something does go wrong you can actually talk to a real person.

The only drawback is the warranty. Only 30 days then it's whatever is provided by the manufacturer. Look around your area there be something similar.
