Ok so my desktop PCs mobo/processor just fried (was 4-5 years old) so I now need to buy a new one...I wanna keep it under 1000$ CDN after rebates and taxes.
Purchase Date=ASAP
just a quick question- wondering if i can salvage anything from it and use in my new build (i know the RAM is useless)
But first some background information...
1) 22" LCD Monitor with 1680x1050 native resolution
2) I use it for every day use and tons of things, some gaming/movie watching (Starcraft II, Warcraft III, WoW, CS, Call of Duty)
3) Dont need: monitor, mouse, keyboards, optical drive, most perfierals
NEED: Case, CPU/mobo, RAM, Hardrive,
Maybe Need: GPU/PSU (currently i have an EVGA Nvidia 9800GTX+ 1gb and my PSU is the Ultra 750W LSP

So help me Build for under 1000$ CDN taxes in
Ive been recommended an AMD with AM3 socket...but i am open to Intel Builds
most say I can salvage my PSU cuz its good and my GPU is personal preferance and should be fine for now
i would like more opinions on this
I would like to be able to crossfire or sli in the future (not with this card tho) so a mobo that does either or would be good
Ohh add Windows 7 into the cost because I need an OS
In the post below I have a temp build gime your advice
1)as for the MOBO was wondering if i should get the FX instead duno what the 40$ diff is tbh....
2)should I upgrade my GPU and if so can someone recommend one? or is my 9800 GTX good enough?
3)Also instead of the CM690 Case what about the HAF920 for like 5$ more which is better? or can i save some money and get an even cheaper case like a HAF 912 or something (it will be in the basement so it is already a bit cooler down here)
