Hey guys, I just found this forum and you guys seem to be the best person to ask my question 
. Ok, this is my second computer that i am buying. Mine made is time, 5 years old almost 6. I can't run todays game anymore I found a couple of site on internet like www.cyberpowersystem.com www.ibuypower.com. I made my my research on those site alot on negative comments. Yesterday, i found a site called www.buyxg.com made my research all i found is positive although they only ship in US thats not a big problem. Here's the system I built(oh by the way im a big noob when it come to computer hardware).

no screen
total price: 2095$ USD = 2420$ CAD
is that system good, my budget is 2600$ CAD max. Don't know if the part are total crap i don't want to pay for a comp that will work for 1 week lol. Personnaly i would like to buy from a canadian site but didn't find one that sell that low. I would like to run HL2, Doom 3 , CS:S, DOD:S and WoW on this comp with all the graphic at the max.
Some more question:
Would it be cheaper to built my own comp and buy the part on the net?
Having 2 video card work at the same time stronger then one alone ,but stronger?
What kind of motherboard should i get?
Thank you
