hi, im building a pc ( for the first time in my life)...i will do the normal everyday stuff on it + gaming ( nothing to extreme though). SO, i want to build a decent pc that will give me good resolution on games like cod4 on my 32" lcd tv. So far this is what i came up with: (btw i live in canada, so i cant use newegg,etc...)

cpu:
q6600

motherboard:
Asus P5N-D

Case:
Ultra Black Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case

HDD:
Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 500GB Hard Drive
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] =TSD-500H3

RAM:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] =O261-7054

PSU:

DVD burner i dont have to list its a cheap $30 one...

also, im not sure on the graphic card...

IF you have any suggestions that can help i'll greatly appreciate it...thanks.

I suggest ordering from www.ncix.com , unless the prices at TigerDirect are better. As for the graphics card, it depends how much yuo want to spend on it. How much is your budget?

Iam going to the tiger direct store and not ordering it online so i can save the shipping plus i'd prefer to buy in person. I know ncix and direct canada are prolly a bit cheaper but i talked to the guy at tiger direct and i can get a discount if i get my whole build from there...Also, my budget for graphic card is around $200..could stretch it a bit i guess....

A much higher quality power supply that is just fine for SLI or crossfire and $5 more

A better and bigger HD, same price

I'd be tempted to go with a P45 board and go crossfire instead of SLI. So those options are here.

Biostar TP45 $171

Graphic card HD4850 $207- http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] CatId=3670

Alright, cool! That makes sense then http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] chnologies is only ~$200 ($160 after mail-in rebate). There are also cheaper versions of the same card. There are also many ATI cards that are about the same price with equal performance, jsut depends on your preference.

alright so u think i should go ati and get the 4850 with a crossfire motherboard... anyone have anymore suggestions?

im still not 100% sure which motherboard to go with...i want a decent motherboard so that i can overclock in the future and if i want drop another graphic card to run in sli/crossfire...i was looking at the asus p5q deluxe..anyone have suggestions on that?

WARNING!!! The P-5ND does NOT support core 2/quad processors (despite being socket 775). I would know, being stuck with a Pentium D for over 2 years. The cheapest mobo you could get would be the P-5ND-Delux, but that is way outdated.
