Help Buying a Computer

[Dark Reaper]

I was thinking about buying a new computer. I want a powerhouse computer that doesn't really cost a lot.

I'm willing to spend about $2000-$3000 Canadian.

Any suggestions?

[Fresno Bob]

it depends what you want to use it for .

[Dark Reaper]

I want to use it for gaming.

[islanq]

how much is that in USD,.. about 2,300?

[Toastyone]

2000CAN is 1,642US and 3000 is 2463 give or take.

I would recommend this:

AMD64 3500 socket 939

MSI Neo2 Platinum NF3 Motherboard

Western Digital 74gb 10,000 rpm for OS and programs

Western Digital 36gb 10,000 rpm for games

Seagate IDE 160gb or more if you want for files, MP3, movies....ect

BFG 6800GT OC

A dvd burner

52x32x52x16 cd reader/writer dvd reader

CORSAIR XMS Xtreme Memory 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200

Case that is a bad ass

Antec550 power supply

I think that's it

I can get a good computer like that for that cheap?

And the BFG 6800GT OC, that's just a Geforce 6800GT overclocked right?

And do you suggest a reliable Canadian site to order from?

Since I am in the US don't really know anybody in Canada, the BFG is overclocked slightly straight from the factory and has a lifetime warranty. And yeah all that stuff would be in your budget it would cost right around 2100Can maybe a little more if you needed an OS
