Will throw in a videocard in a couple of months.
main uses - watchin movies (divx, dvd etc..) playing light fps games (mostly adventure), browsing the internet, downloadin n burning music, etc.

Total (tax included+free shipping+insurance) - CAD $427.47
Still debating with the possibility of getting a motherboard with the onboard
X4500HD until I throw in a videocard but then on the other hand the X4500HD is really useless once I get a videocard....
I am considering a 9600GT or the 8500GT
Like always all advices for the above components are welcome.
the retailer I am ordering through is my favorite - DirectCanada.com
(until NewEgg doesnt launch)
