  You can opt for the Cheap Mobo and Chips , and Cheap hardware stuff, but thats not the point of having a PC DIY.
  
  Of coz most gamers want state of the art Graphics card and good Mobo that supports fast RAM. Fast and Quiet HDD. Which costs $$.
  
  Remember, the point is If you don't know how to do it, get the pc guys where you buy them to fix them. Otherwise, you're either too confused with which parts works most efficiently.
  
  Advice: The casing, PSU and cooling system is quite important in the P4 setups. That is if you're into more than 24hours continuous usage(d/ling).

  2 fans can be noisy. U can opt for an open air design, or water cooled or gel cooled system.
