help me with my first build

[john_smarty]

i have a 1200$ budget for a new gaming computer.
can anyone help me with the parts
(and i was wondering i live in Canada and the prices are way high would it be cheaper to order off new egg u.s.a or does n.c.i.x price match it?)

What is the purpose of your build?
What parts are you ordering? OS? Monitor? Keyboard? Mouse?
I've been hearing that Newegg.ca is okay and NCIX.com is a good source too.

no i just need the computer itself no o.s. i am going to use it for almost everything gaming,movies etc.
i put together a computer on all three of those sites and new egg was about 20-25% cheaper which really surprised me

AFAIK Newegg.ca will ship from the USA and you end up paying customs fees. That kinda ruins the deal.

Here are some deals from NCIX. They're valid until Tuesday.

Antec 900 $109 http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=21123&promoid=1029

Total $1141, but there's also shipping. If you live outside BC you only pay 5% GST, no PST.

 

[john_smarty]

so could i price match it with newegg.com?

No, you can't. Newegg.com is in a different country, and the prices are in a different currency. You may be able to price match with www.newegg.ca. Call them and ask.
