This GAMING rig is for a friend who has a budget of 2000 CANADIAN and can go a little over. The place he wants to buy it is www.canadacomputers.com because he can pick it up there and he doesnt want to ship. Feel free to nitpick at anything you think would be a better replacement. He wont be OCing. Also I dont know much about video cards so if there are any suggestions please tell me.
Also if you think i should get DDR instead of DDR2 or 939 instead of AM2 please feel free to comment on anything, what to change, whats overkill etc. Thanks
