Intro: Finally I came up with a solution to the CAN pricing problem. I have a bunch of USA dollars in my wallet, and my aunt lives in new york, she is willing to have all the parts shoipped there from newegg.com So I'm going to pick it up from there


The Question: What would I be able to get with $1000 US , because OI really haven't tried on newegg.com only on newegg.ca

Ill need 12 items :

-cpu

-motherboard

-RAM

-video card

-case (really good cooling)

-power supply

-22" monitor

-2.0 speakers

- hard drive

-optical drive

- heatsink

I need this to be as future proof as possible. Ah god, I cant wait till i get this....in June... 2months...

by that do you mean the barebones PC's ? b/c all of those seem to have weak powersupplys and as I learned here I need a heck of a lot more than 300 W to run all the stuff for a gaming pc

I would say the easy way to cut 200 bucks off the build would be the graphics card. You dont really need a card like that to run cod at good settings with a decent framerate. Its a little bit of overkill. You can find a good card for around $100 that will be able to run those games with decent settings. I would suggest looking at the ati radeon 4830. Its $89.99 right now. It wont beable to max out everything but it should still look good. The other thing I would look at would be the monitor. You can get a pretty decent for around $100 dollars. Its really up to you your going to have to sarafice some performance for the $200 cut back.

Why would you waste money right now on a quad core. There is no reason to get one since very few games can actually take advantage of the 4 cores.

For about the same price as TheDuffman26's build, you could get an AM3 mobo, 720BE, DDR3 Ram and have a future proof socket.
