i have a 700-800$ budget and with all of that with shipping i have 709$ plus 50$ mail in rebates, so i was hoping to use the left over for a gpu / if someone can suggest different parts to save money and get a good gpu ?

what would be some of your uses for it?

from what you listed i'm assuming your budget is just for the tower? or for OS and monitor and peripherals too?

 

[Dumpy]

oops i thought i mentioned all that, my bad sorry. Yes its just for the tower no os ect. and used for gaming / light htpc if that makes sense lol

sub-total would be about $675 (CAD) and you could get a total of $55 back from rebates. i don't know how much it would come out to once you factor in shipping costs, taxes, etc. but if it comes out being too much, there's a few things you could change.

like switching to a tri core
