I don't think it matters who you buy from just as long as you know what your buying. Purchasing online isn't a bad route to go if your building your own and you'll probably save a few bucks. NCIX, and Newegg are some reputable dealers that come to mind.
I don't know why people are so fussy about warranties, the 30 or 90 days you get is more than enough to ensure it's not a manufactures defect. 95% of the time it's software related and can be fixed with simple driver updates.
Another suggestion is never pay for the little performance gain you get out of top of the line products, especially, videocards, and CPUs. The performance difference between a $250 video card and that $600 videocard is almost never worth the extra money in real life applications and games. Add to this that prices come down so fast and that technology advances so rapidly in the PC world, that top end video card will be a budget card in a year. The only hardware that I don't recommend being cheap on is the monitor for obvious reasons, and the Motherboard usually because they are fairly cheap to begin with and will save you money down the road cause you won't have to uprade as quickly.
