To play games you will need something better than the integrated x4500 that comes with the $350 build

AMD is typically better for processors under the $150 price and competing well between $150-200.

If you want to game under $600 canadian this is the kind of build you want. You don't need a 700W PSU for something like this. The technology is up to date so it will be good for upgrading in the future and the board supports crossfire if you ever decide to get a second radeon 4850. I don't know much about starcraft but with this build you can play a lot of modern games on fairly high settings.

Thanks for catching that Daggs! It's now fixed.
I was doing some editing and must've missed it.

I thought about including the calisto, but I wanted the triple core over the dual, and it fit the budget better.

Wow...I'm embarrassed. When I switched the mobo in the build, I forgot to change the link, and the RAM. Once again, thanx Daggs. I should hire you as my proof reader

I like the faster bus of the calisto, but a slight OC of the 710, and it's a level playing field with an extra core.

Oh sweet thanks you guys! So what would be the final list looks like cause iam confused lol xD!
