Hello Tech Gods,
Long time reader first time poster here. I want to build a pc that will be good for downloading and watching HD movies, as well as capable do doing some above average gaming. I can get an operating system on my own so that's not included neither is the ODD.
Below you will find my general direction, but I'm open to all suggestions, I just don't want to go much higher than 800. This doesn't have to be the greatest gaming pc of all time (given my budget and desire for small size) I just want the best pc for my money with the upgrade option (any money saved is appreciated as well).
Looking forward to your wisdom!
Oh and I'm in Canada, eh
EDIT
I also added a second list given my suggestion.If I could have some opinions/ insight on my graphics card that would be appreciated.
