Help Buying a Computer


Recommended Posts

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

    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
