Building a new Computer - Tips?
I'm currently thinking about building a new computer. Here's what I've gotten written down so far:
Antec Sonata II Piano Black Quiet Mid Tower ATX Black 450W PS $122.99 CDN / $110.99 USD Asus P5ND2-SLI Socket 775 nVidia SLI Technology Dual-Core CPU Ready $117.00 CDN / $105.58 USD Intel Pentium D 805 2.66GHz EM64T XD Dual Core 2x1MB 533MHz FSB $159.99 CDN / $144.38 USD Kingmax 1024MB PC4300 DDR2 533MHz 240-pin Unbuffered DIMM $99.99 CDN / $90.23 USD BFG GeForce 7600GS OC 256MB DDR2 Dual-Link DVI-I HDTV Out PCI-E $169.99 CDN / $153.40 USD Western Digital WD-2000JS Caviar 200GB 8MB 8.9ms 7200rpm SATA II $94.99 CDN / $85.72 USD Currently this comes to about $764.95 CDN / $690.31 USD. Since I live in Ontario, I get hit with 7% GST and 8% PST, pushing this to $879.69 CDN / $793.86 USD. Anyone care to challenge this system and help me figure out what other alternatives I have? The links above link to two stores, Logic Computer House and Canada Computers, which are currently within reach and thus I can get in-store prices as opposed to online ordered prices. Also, I already have a DVD burner that I plan to be re-using; works great. P.S. Newegg.com does not ship to Canada. P.S.S. CDN -> USD conversion provided by http://www.xe.com. At time of writing, conversion was 1.00 CDN -> 0.902426 USD. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm aiming for a bit of a gaming rig but at the same time I don't want to spend too much. I also don't want to get left behind in what video cards are good and what aren't, etc.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
