Too bad you don't buy stuff online. It would save you a lot of money. If you're worried about how reputable a company is, then you can check out Reseller Ratings to see how the sites rank. Seriously though, you could save a lot of money that way. BTW, that's a nice setup, just a bit overpriced.

do you live in china?  your price seem high.  You can get the motherboard for $50 cheaper than what you said and a 6600 gt for a little under $200, otherwise your system seems allright, kinda around the same specs i'm gonna shoot for in a few months.

6600 GT for a little under $200 CAD? You must be kidding me. Everywhere I go, 6600 GTs are $250 CAD or more expensive, although most stores sell for around $280-290.

And to answer the original poster's question: good deals in general :)

Two things: first that video card is awfully expensive. MSRP is $200 US....

Second: You might want to get an Athlon64 3200+ s939 processor and an MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard instead. Faster AND cheaper :D Oh, and why don't you buy online? Aside from being cheaper, its also way useful. You can find many things retailers don't have.

Hope this helps

Also, are you buying it in Canada (you seem to be displaying the Canadian flag)?

If you are, you may consider buying it online in the US for less, since there's more competition and varieties of products. Buy it online, more accessibility. I bought one like that (I live in Canada) and trimmed approximately 20-25% of the original cost!

But I think that AMD system is sufficiently good for that price. And since you're leaving in 1 hour, just buy that!

    • Microsoft SharePoint gets Modern Page Templates to speed up page creation by Paul Hill SharePoint, Microsoft’s enterprise content management solution that allows organizations to set up internal pages and share documents, has just got a big update with the new Modern Page Templates. Microsoft said that it’s going to be rolling out the feature to customers globally between early July and early August. Organization members that want to set up pages on SharePoint using the new templates can do so from multiple entry points including the Site Home (the home of a Communication or Teams site), App Bar (the persistent navigation pane on the left of SharePoint), and the New Web Part (a webpart that displays and creates news posts directly on pages). By giving colleagues multiple access points to the new templates, there’s more chance they’ll be found and used. By including plenty of swanky templates, Microsoft is making it so you can spend less time designing pages, and more time filling them with content that really matters. If you want to create a new page using the templates, just go to New > Page and select a template “From Microsoft”. If you were making a news post, you would go to New > News post then you’d be presented with the new Template Gallery where you can select a custom template created by your colleagues under “Saved on this site”. While these new templates are coming to customers globally next month, Microsoft is already busy working on new features to make templates easier to discover and make them more useful. For example, it is building tenant-wide custom templates that can be published across sites for organization-wide use, and it’s working on Copilot templates that you can use when creating pages with Copilot. Neither of these features was given a release timeline. Customers won’t need to do anything to start using Modern Page Templates as they’ll be available automatically as it rolls out worldwide across tenants. For those who want to dive deeper, Microsoft will be publishing additional documentation and guidance about this feature soon.

    • Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat by Paul Hill Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Mobile will see the launch of Season 6 “Gundams Arrive” on July 2 at 5PM Pacific Time. This major collaboration between the world’s most popular FPS franchise and the Gundam franchise will introduce a new, limited-time mode called Gundam Team Deathmatch where 8 players will face off 4v4 and pilot Gundam-themed operators such as Ethan - Freedom Gundam, Reaper - Sazabi Gundam, Proton - v Gundamo, Deathscythe Gundam (EW). When playing in this game mode, players will notice a switch from the usual first-person view to the third-person perspective. The new game mode will also feature specific abilities and weapons that are unique to Gundam suits rather than player loadouts. The new Gundam Team Deathmatch mode will be played on a new map called interstellar space station, which has been designed for this mode. When playing, you’ll discover that the mech suits offer specialized mobility such as dodge, sprint, and vertical jets. In the post-match, players will be able to watch Gundam operator animations with unlockable rewards for viewing. You can unlock more animations by participating in Gundam Team Deathmatch, normal Multiplayer, and Battle Royale modes. There will also be Gundam-themed in-game events, such as Survival of the Fittest, which will give players free rewards like the new legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and more. Players will also be able to obtain a variety of items through Season 6 Battle Pass free and premium tiers, including sci-fi-themed Operators and Weapon Blueprints. Players on the free tier will get access to the bolt-action 3-Line Rifle based on a World War II design and is capable of inflicting high damage with high accuracy. Free tier players will also have the chance to earn other rewards such as Skins, Weapons Blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Players looking to spend money can get the Premium Pass. These players will have a chance to get all of the content from Season 6 including tactical warriors like Silver — Chrome Dome Reskin, Misty — Science Pilot, Atlas — Dust Ranger, and The Marshal — Rock Hound; and Weapon Blueprints like the BP50 — Pathripper, Oden — Maevwat Technical, PDW-57 — Rocket Re-Entry, BY15 — Dark Moon, and the 3-Line Rifle — Geo Thermal Line, based on the new Season 6 weapon. There’s also Battle Pass Subscription which gives you additional monthly rewards along with a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, discount coupons, and limited discounts on 10x crate pulls. Activision also stated that Mythic Drops are returning to the Mythic store and that Battle Pass Vault is getting Season 9 — Zombies Are Back (2022) and Season 6 — Templar's Oath (2023).
