    Default Need to buy a better pc..look!

    Hey guys,I'm in desperate need of a new computer,so can you guys please help me find a good computer to buy?

    But..I can only buy from 1 website,so don't send links of different websites and tell me to buy this piece from this place and this other from this other place.Also my total budget is 500$ CAD or 700$ CAD including monitor + keyboard.

    I hope someone can help me find a good PC ..

    I want a beast KO pc xD

    Why can you only buy from just one site? Also would you mind buying parts and putting them together or do you need to have a prebuilt pc?
    And can you tell me the site you'd like to purchase from?

    • Only one site because of the Shipping.
    • Parts or prebuilt is fine,it doesn't matter;if it's prebuilt then i will get someone to install it in for me.


    • Any site that sells for Canada is fine.The top 3 I know are:

    TigerDirect.ca- Computers, Computer Parts, Computer Accessories, PC Components & Electronics

    http://www.newegg.ca/

    NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Great Technology, Service and Selection.

    Anyways,if you are trying to help me,please make sure your on the Canadian part and not American :P

    Thnx

    Kinda hard with $500. :S

    I did some research on those 3 sites and gave up. Go to overclock.net you'll get good help there.

    I'm going to go up a little on the budget..

    Anyways,I got a new one built on the site with a help of some friends (look down):

    CD-ROM
    PC Case
    Hard Drive
    Video Card
    RAM
    Processor
    Motherboard

    Power Supply

    All from newegg.ca

    P.S I'm thinking about changing the E8400 Intel to the AMD Phenom II (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16819103471), it's about 20$ cheaper and performs the same if not better.But I want your oppions on this.Also if there is anything I can get for cheaper on that site that will do the same,please feel free to post it,because it would be nice if I can save some money

    DO NOT use a cheap power supply ! it is the most important thing (since it powers everything) you put in your computer.

    and the video card isn't that great either. i'd go for a new ati 5xxx series since they have dx11 support.

    i forgot to update the power supply,i wont get that,im going to get Newegg.ca - OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies

    and for the video card,can you hook me up with a link on newegg.ca ?

    Newegg.ca - SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100284VXL Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

    it's $50 more, but it's worth it. vapor-x versions are the best. they have much better cooling and have a factory OC.

    I love my OCZ PSU and cooler master case. Your case is a newer version of mine, but still pretty similar. iirc it does not come with a case fan in the front (at least mine didn't) so you might want to get one of those too. You could probably go with the phenom II 965 and get a motherboard with AM3/ddr3 (I got 6gb ocz ddr3 1600 ram for like $120 after rebate a few weeks ago). If that HDD is the only one you're going to have, its pretty small. You could get a 1 TB for about twice the price.
    I got: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...-402-_-Product
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...-727-_-Product
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16820227365

    On a side note: I got http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...%20Orion%20202 for $15 after a rebate, and its obviously not an amazing case, but a shitload better than I was expecting from a $15 case.

I would save a couple hundred more and get a much better performing PC, AMD Phenom II 955 BE, DDR3 2x2, and board that will support am3 socket. and a 5000 series ATI would be best bang for buck.

    FYI that mobo is a micro ATX (It looks to be the micro ATX version of mine, which I linked above). I would advise against getting such outdated technology tbh. mb ram and processor could all be upgraded significantly for liek 200-250 and would last you a lot longer.
