First off, here's the answers to the sticky thread above...
1. My PC will be primarily used for gaming.
2. My budget is around 2000-2200$ (including taxes and shipping)
3. I'll be buying my parts in Canada (Ontario)
4. No real brand preferences, I like whatever performs the best and has some degree of reliability.
5. I'll be using my own DvD burner/case/monitor/hard drives (2x 74GB Raptors)
6. I have searched and read similar threads.
7. I'll be running the system at stock speeds.
Here's the system I priced out so far, I used canadacomputers.com since its close and the prices are good, if anyone has any other suggestions though I'd be open to checking out some other places, as long as it doesn't cost more in shipping.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 ($298.99)
BFG GeForce 8800 GTX ($613.99)
Zalman CNPS9500 Cu CPU Cooler ($63.99)
Corsair XMS2 Dominator 2GB Memory ($249.99)
EVGA NF68-A1 SLI Socket 775 nVidia nForce 680i ($249.99)
OCZ GameXStream 700 Watt Power Supply ($129.99)
Thanks in advance!
