I need some help with pointers for shopping for parts in a tropical climate

I'm taking my 4 sticks of OCZ Platinum Revision 2 ram and my EVGA E-Geforce 8800 GTS 640mg video card and moving to Honolulu, Hawaii. As I understand this Geforce video card will work properly and communicate with an AMD cpu, (not Intel) so since I'm probably picking parts that are cost effective from Comp USA I need to know what things I should lookout for to make sure my new computer has the fastest AMD chipset (I have been out of the hardware loop for a while) I guess I could go to another store besides Comp USA as long as there is a local store that is within bus reach of Diamond Head or Waikiki.

P.S. I do play UT2004 and farcry2 so I am a gamer. I think what I need is all solid capasitors, hopefully I can find this in a local shop cheap.

I found webpages explaining my memory and video card listed above:

Newegg.com - OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2P800R22GK - Desktop Memory

Amazon.com: EVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS 640 MB PCIe Video Card: Electronics

I did get help for setting up my memory and this platinum edition which I have three of needs a custom setup as you can see from this post:

Anything else you feel will help me in my decision feel free to share it with me so I can make a more informed decision when the time comes.

/EDIT this is my memory info DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

I thought I had to find a chipset for my cpu that will communicate better with my video card with some default Nvidia software that is'nt working with my intel cpu right now; I was under the impression that it's an AMD cpu.

I just found a cool website for finding local stores with the product I choose: http://local.thefind.com/qq-motherboard/local-1
