Mwave sells mobo/CPU/memory combos... they assemble them and test them for you for $9 extra. That beats the hell out of the DOA crap-shoot we all play with this stuff
Mwave is a very good store, Newegg is actually Mwave's ripoff 'cause Mwave existed way before Newegg. Anyway, I recommend Mwave, just that their prices are a bit high.
I've built 2 systems through Monarch computer, pretty good prices, great products and speedy service. I ordered my motherboard combo on Sunday, and had it on Thursday. Plus great tech support.Link
I'd go with Mwave for bundles because you'd get an auto 1 year warranty directly with them. So no dealing with 3week+ wait times with motheboard manufacturers.
i'll agree with Mwave for the bundles. They'll test 'em for you, so that will hopefully eliminate any 'loose' component problems the one might encounter during assembly. They're fast too. Just got all my stuff through them.

Mwave's prices are higher than NewEgg, but competitive with pretty much everyone else. I prefer Mwave over NewEgg.
I have used mwave many times without hassle and only 1 backorder , quick shipping , and usually good prices . I have also used Invado a few times , though I usually just drive to their b+m location .
if you want a brick/mortar store, then Fry's Electronics has deals on cpu/mobo combos all the time. Look for there ads in the paper if you think you have a Fry's in your area.
I love Mwave and have always ordered from them. Last thing I got was an Abit KR7A bundle with XP1600+. I payed the extra 9 bucks to have them test it but when I got it, it the board was messed up. I sent it back absolutely no problem at all and got diff mobo. Other than that, had great experience with them and will certainly buy from them again.
