I am a Canadian Citizen, so you would have to multiply 1.15 for an American Price.

Before reading, please consider the following:
Parts are more expensive in Canada, regardless of exchange rate
I checked All over the net for the CHEAPEST prices at a retail store


CPU: P4 3.2 Ghz HT LGA 775- $284
MOBO: Asus P5P800 - $117
Ram: Kingston 512MB DDR400 - $95
HDD: WD 80GB S-ATA 7200 RPM- $83
Case: Crappy Antec 1600 with 300 w- $65 (know I got ripped for this)
Case fan: Stealth- $16

Total= That totals 668 dollars approximately.
Then mouse and keyboard costs up to over 700

Remember that was CAD 668,

I want to know if I got ripped off, or if those were killer prices,
and how long this PC shall last me.

I am in the first years of hi skool. Game on hl2, and cs at least 7 times every week, do photoshop, and application using more than gaming.

Thanks.
 
how long should it last?
well that depends on what you're going to use it for now and in future

also, what is the video card?

I would say the system is pretty descent, and prices are pretty good too
 
you might want to consider a better video card.
and also get another 512 MB stick of RAM
 
DO I really need a gig of ram? I am only a young aged youth student.

And 40 fps on source feels like 50-60 1.6 experience.
 
1gb of ram isn't really necessary imo, unless you're a total game freak that wants to run fps on the highest settings possible. I run most games very smoothly [HL2 etc] with 512 ram when I had 512 ram that is.
 
Rofl. THe thing is, you're chinese like me too... jk, but I am chinese.

Anyway, it really lags on aztec. And while I get like top 3 position on scrims for dust2 and other maps, I get like 2 kills and 10 deaths on aztec =/
 
Hi again :) You MAY want to purchase a case without a psu so you can buy a quality one. Make sure your case fan runs at least 2000rpm. Other than that, it seems like a good price. Mine cost about $700 too when I bought my stuff last March.
 
crazlunatic it sounds like a good price for canadian money,where about's do you live? i live in ontario and that's about the same i pay here for my stuff,check out this place www.cedgec.com for reference,they are pretty cheap for certain thing's the only problem is they don't sell on line only instore:( but it's fun to look and check out price's,it's where i get all my stuff.
