Hello, I posted a while back an AM2 build, but soon found that Conroe might be good for me since I wanted to get a Dual Core CPU, switching from my old Socket A Athlon XP will be great. I've tried to stay within my budget, I had set a limit of 1200$ not including the Video Card, seems I'm under the 1000$. 
ALL PRICES ARE IN CANADIAN CURRENCY!
CPU :
CORE 2 DUO E6300 - $246.09
MOBO:
ABIT AB9 PRO P965 - $184.80

I might throw in an AzunTech X-PLOSION DTS for 148.35$ more.
I'm wondering if there's anything I've missed or something. Comments are always appreciated.

Not a bad system. Where are you buying that from? NCIX?
| Quote : Yeah, all prices are from NCIX. I did a search for the Mobo and CPU because they are not shown in the list. |
The E6300 went up to $247 
. Better get it before it soars to $250! lol
