ram: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3127504&sku=ULT40089

hd: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3285366&sku=TSD-160AAJS

You have no GPU... you're going to need more than $300 to build an anywhere decent rig... especially if it's in CDN

The markups you pay for tigerdirect though it may be worth just paying for the shipping, as just on the processor you are paying a $5 markup

I have had to pay shipping on everything I have ordered from Tiger. I put that stuff you linked in my cart and it showed $18.87 shipping, not bad considering it includes a case, but still not free. Does it come up as free shipping for you?

Ahhh, that must be nice, except you have to pay tax right?

There is no Newegg or Tiger in my state, so I don't have to pay tax at either one.

Here are a couple choices for Ram that are free shipping and a few dollars cheaper then the G.Skill

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227189

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145590

if you check on newegg for the different components you need you can click on free shipping on the left hand side and it will show you everything in that catagory that offers free shipping and you can price compair against the stuff without free shipping..

Also this gpu is a little cheaper for the same performance as the previous suggested one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2%2050002058%2040000048%20106792627%201067944946&name=Radeon%20HD%204830&SpeTabStoreType=1

I hope this helps
