A $600 gaming computer

[monkeyrench]

Approximate Purchase Date: Next month or two

Budget Range: Around $600, less would be great. Prices in before rebate or discounts.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Games, surf the web, games, movies.

Parts Not Required: Monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: must be from CanadaComputers.com

Country of Origin: Canada

Parts Preferences: N/A

Overclocking: Maybe, but only if using AMD black edition cpus

SLI or Crossfire: nope

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: would rather get better gpu for a slightly inferior cpu that is cheaper! Also, would like the gpu to be able to play Battlefield 3, even though the rec. specs that out yet.


I keep trying to configure my own, but end up with $800+ computers :S
Need it to be $600, less is best.

 

[Why_Me]

After looking at the prices on that Canada Computers site, it's a total hose job and then some.

Free shipping from both of these sites down below and they are affiliated...they both use the same shipping addy in Richmond, BC and I would say those two sites are used the most by far on here for Canadian builds.

I have to agree with Why_Me on the parts source recommendation.

is the a reason you need to use that site? store credit or something?
