So I found this bundle on TigerDirect.ca
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9165145&sku=B69-00275
For me, I think its pretty good as I only have a $500 budget. I'll need to spend a bit more on a graphics card, if anyone can suggest ones that are low in price. I tend to play minecraft and TF2. I have my eye on this one currently. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=149617&sku=A271-5456
I'm not planning on overclocking, although in the future I might.
Thanks!

I have a hard time recommending lower end gpu's. They really dont give you much performace. This is a Nvidia GT 640. I Personally had one of these a long time ago. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127752&cm_re=gt_640-_-14-127-752-_-Product

It will definatly run minecraft. Probably even let you turn on shaddows. I used it for minecraft and tf2 personally and it worked fine.

But for just a bit more, A 750 ti is a hot item right now and would stretch out for the long haul.

The ram are actual circuit boards that must be physically inserted on the motherboard. If it's not there, pc won't work. You could go with 4Gb but performance would suffer enough that tf2 would really start to look like mine craft, all blocky.

In all honesty, that's a really good build for the price, and anything less would really not be wort the hit in performance you'd take to save a few dollars.

The Grand total with shipping and tax comes to $678. I cant afford this build, so I think ill go with the barebones kit and the graphics card. its all from one place, and its $50 less than the original price so I can afford it. The only 2 games im really worried about are TF2 and Minecraft(Not really worried about minecraft, its a pretty easy game to run)

One thing to take into Consideration when ordering online. There is no tax on out of state business. OPs stores are local, therefore what we see as tax free, he sees as taxed. For him to get untaxed merchandise he'd have to order from the States and hope they not only shipped free (or close to free) to Canada, but also do not have outlets local, which places like Amazon likely do have.
