newegg.com is very good. ive shopped from them before. also amazon.com is good. free shipping on anything above 25$ 
.
let me translate some stuff that xDBD said that you might not understand
MOBO= motherboard
PSU= power supply unit
also, about some other stuff. the RAM is essential. get one gigabyte of it. corsair's value select is pretty good. plus under 80$ i think.
now for your video card. there are hundreds of different ones out there today. try to narrow your choices down by thinking of what you are going to be doing. if you plan to just play d2 and other games like it, get one that is 128 megabytes big. it should cost you no more than 100$ for a decent video card. if you are a hard core gamer and like to have everything on maxium settings, then we are talknig about 200$ + price range.
more about the motherboards. also decide on what you are going to do with your comper. if it is for everyday use, choose one that only has one video card socket, other wise known as PCI Express 16. if you want to be hard core, then choose a mother board that has dual PCI Express 16. this way if you want, you can have two video cards running at once.
also make sure that your mother board socket(the number of pins it will accept for your CPU) matches. other than that there really isnt much to worry about
hard drive- it all depends again too. these are getting cheaper and cheaper these days. try to get one that is at least 100GBs big. if you want to download alot of movies etc etc then choose a bigger size.
