This is my first computer build. I have been doing some research. So this is what I have.
Computer will be used for gaming, and school work
The games that I play or want to play with this comp are TF2, L4D2, CSS, MW2. All on max or high settings. I may choose to play more graphic heavy games in the future but this is what i have for now.
Also this computer will need to last me for 4 years. I may choose to upgrade the processor and/or video card in the future.
My budget is $1500-1800 CAD, I will be using either newegg.ca or tigerdirect.ca for my hardware.
I already have the OS and software taken care of so no need to mention that.
Sorry for making you wait so long! Heres the BUILD!

So cool how it ended up as 1500. Please look at the parts i chose, as i am newb. This 1500 isnt including the shipping prices which i expect to come at around 70$ and the taxes where i live. 13% T_T. I'd also like to know if I need to overclock since the graphics card is already over clocked and the processor has that boost feature.
