Hi!
Well, this is my first post but i read the web site for 2 months and it is very interresting.
I want to start to thanks everyone who are helping others, really. English is not my main language (French, Quebec, Canada), so sorry for bad spelling and synthax errors.
I currently have a laptop that i will use at university in computer science, so basically, i would like to use a new computer for gaming and working ( doing Java, c++, Csharp and web ).
I have a budget of +- 1,500$ CAN, I don't do video/pictures editing or rendering. I already have a screen. I don't need much space, my laptop is 120 G and i don't use 70G of this space, so something between 120-300 G would be perfect. I am a speed freak, i don't do benchmarks but i want a computer that load things hella fast.
I will have Vista 64 bit, don't know if i buy Home or ultimate (not included in the +- 1,500$ ). Plus, I want to take the most advantage of the technology I buy.
Well, I made a fast list of what kind of pieces that I want.
Note : Ncix products only please, that are IN stock, thanks!. I have NO experience in building computers, totally ignore the cooling, psu, etc rules.
