Well, I would say it been 6 years since I have had a new PC. I have been using a store bought HP Pavilion 760c with a P4, 760 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, and 64 MB ATi graphics card. I have saved up some money and am looking to buy a new PC, except this time I want to build my own so I can cut down on costs.
Alright, so I have been reading this guide and it has helped me choose great parts for my system. I did not use the exact parts it mentioned, but I had a good idea of what I'd need after reading it. (I am looking at the $1500 - $2000 section of that forum post).
Alright, I live in Canada, British Columbia, so I can't really order from newegg. So I decided to go with NCIX. I am also using Hardware Canucks to price match my hardware from different stores in Canada so I can get the best deal I can get.
Here is all the hardware I am getting:

My budget is around $1500 - $1600 CAD. Also, I must also mention that I am allowing NCIX to build the computer for me mainly because it comes with 1 year warranty from them. In case something goes wrong, I am not in the dust. Is this a good idea?I am hoping you guys can answer the following questions: - Did I make good choices in my build? Should I have chosen another piece of hardware over another that I have chosen?
- Will the parts that I have shown above all be compatible when it is time to build?
