Well, I finally decided not to get another mointor so that saves me $200 but imma save that for later upgrades.

Sooo, for $800 (IF, I can get cheaper that would be FANTASTIC!!!) what could I get? (I dont mind dual-cores, just as long as they can overclock high and perform well) (btw, I live in Canada)

MY monitor is 19" and is at a resolution of 1280X1024, so my video card wont have to get THAT great.

I'll need.

CPU - CPU Cooler

Motherboard

Ram

Video Card

Power supply

Case

2.0 Speakers

And, Im not trying to make u do all the work so I'm going to post what I think I should get.

You could probably build a system around an i7 920 if you found some good deals.

That's about 450 right there. If you found a cheap motherboard and a case with a built in power supply you might be able to pull it off. But you'd probably want to upgrade that card sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Cpu Intel Q8200 Cpu cooler Freezer 7 pro Mo bo: Gigabyte EP45-UD3R Ram: G skill PC8500 4gb (2x2gb) DDR2 1066 ATI Radeon HD 4870 Sapphire 512mb of GDDR5 ram PC Power & Cooling 500w SILENCER. Xclio A380 Super tower 2.0 speakers you find on your own. P.S. This is what my build currently is. It should end up to be 650 (If you are not planning to get HDD or disc drive) Also if you need a OS that will be another 100$ so all in all with everything you probably about 800 or so. P.S.S. that quad core can over clock very well.

How about this?

CPU-http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103249

Motherboard -http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131330

RAM -http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122

Video Card -http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130468

Case + PSU -http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156062

Speakers:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121016CVF

Is that good??? I'm worried. I know the CPU will only get to like 3.0 GHz at MOST. But still I don't think I'll overclock from 2.5 GHz for a long time.

With Shippiung + handling =$789.40

Also, shipping from Direct Canada is free, and if you live outside of british columbia you only pay 5% tax (just the GST)
