Case: Antec Nine Hundred
CPU: Intel E8500
CPU Cooling: ARCTIC COOLING Freezer
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R
HD: Seagate Barracuda
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB 800
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W
Disk Drive: ASUS 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe

I'd like to be able to play as many games as possible at mid requirements, and stay under $1300. I live in Canada, and I'm going to order from newegg.ca unless some can recommend a better site that ships Canadian.

I'd also like to know if everything will fit the case?

And of course opinions on anything else.

I don't know the current exchange rate (close to equal I'd imagine), but a 4850 for a $1300 build doesn't seem right. I would recommend a 4870 1gb or gtx260 core 216 (896mb of video ram).

You're right, I can probably squeeze in a 4870 1GB.
Any other comments though?

I heard NCIX has good prices and in some areas not VAT, but not sure about the details.
