Seems to me you could do a lot better for close to $1000. Are we talkin american dollars here? What website are you using?

 

[Nubbleet]

Yeah what's your budget. 775 is dead, so we'll have to change a few things. Like said above where are you buying from?

I live in canada so my choices got a whole lot more limited. The first one is from tigerdirect.ca and the second From directcanada.com. I looked at newegg's canadian site but saw very limited selection. If you know of a better site for that would be awesome, any help is a lifesaver. Also i was hoping to spend about 800 or so. Im not looking for top of the line just a game that will be able to run the new games coming out this year on medium settings. Thx for advice so far!

newegg.ca has poor selection? I think maybe you're only looking at pre-built computers? You should think about building your own, you'll get a much better deal. I'm assuming you already have a monitor? The builds above don't have OS listed, do you already have one?

So, if you're willing to build the thing yourself, we could set you up with a nice build. Where in canada do you live btw?

Maybe im just retarded then lol. Everyone said it was good so I was suprised they had so little... Guess i was just looming in the wrong places. But remember im talking about neweggs canadian site. I am building it myself and ya ive got a good monitor already. An yes i got Xp or Vista here waiting for use. I live in Newfoundland so my selection can sometimes be more limited.

Thx for the help so far guys!

I tried to put in some postal codes from newfoundland, and it looks like you guys pay a lot more taxes, at least compared to BC. I put in A1A 0A1 for postal code, and it took me to $987.34. wow. lol.

Soo... what now? lol
