I wouldn't buy anywhere else than NewEgg. Pricewatch is HORRIBLE.
As you may or may not know, AMD has locked the multiplier on newer Athlon XP 2500+ Bartons. You can still overclock the hell out of them, but it's totally dependent on how good your RAM is now. Before, you could pull off a good OC with shitty PC2700 RAM...now that's not possible. You'll need PC3200 with a CAS of 2.5 or lower in order to OC it using the FSB increases instead of the multiplier.
So basically, you're looking for:
Abit NF7-S
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton with 333 MHz FSB at 1.83 GHz
DDR RAM of PC3200 or greater with a CAS latency at 2.5 or lower.
For the RAM, I suggest Corsair (not XMS Corsair, I've heard of compatibility issues with it), Geil, or Mushkin. NewEgg has all of these parts for really cheap. They have a great Corsair RAM deal going on. $120 gets ya two 256 MB PC3200 sticks with heatspreaders with a 2 CAS latency.
Like I said before, the newer Bartons are locked, so you'll need good RAM to OC them. You may get an older one with an unlocked multiplier, but it doesn't really help (you still need good RAM for the best performance). Good luck!
