In regards to motherboards, Asus boards are the best. My current one has served me well and has lots of smart things built into it, like it'll instantly shut down if it thinks the processor isn't getting cooled enough and stuff like that. Avoid Shuttle motherboards, mine gave me no end of grief.
I actually have a GeForce2 MX card, and it's been perfectly fine. No glitches or incompatable things. I would suggest getting a GeForce4 if you intend to not have to replace anything for a couple of years, as it's an established chipset that works well but is also the latest on the market so its standard will stay in circulation for awhile.
As for shopping, you might try http://www.pricewatch.com for parts. I've used them a couple of times and have no complaints.
