I posted here a little while ago foradvice, and definatly good good ones. since then I bought a gaming casing, 4 gb of ddr3, a new power supply (thermaltake 600w) and my new video card is on the way (Gigabyte GTX460 1gb).
Now i've managed to inject additional funds in my new computer budget, which takes me up to 500$ (canadian dollars) left to buy a motherboard and a cpu. I don't want to go AMD, i'd like to stick with Intel, possibly a Core I5, along with a motherboard that will allow me to add more ram later (I got 2x2gb DDR3). I heard some mobo do tri-channel with the ram now, so if that's effective, that could be interessting. Squeezing a 3rd stick of 2gb ram could be nice, but not needed at the time. The motherboard doesn't need to support a second video card since I won't be buying a second one anyway
Again thank you for the time you guys will take in pointing me towards the best direction
