Approximate Purchase Date: After Christmas (going to get me some extra money!)
Budget Range: $1000 Before taxes and shipping ($1200 Overall)
In Canadian dollars
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Web Browsing, Gaming (mid level)
Parts Not Required: I need everything
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.CA although any website that ships to Canada is fine with me. (Tiger direct, Canada direct...etc)
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences: No Preferences
Overclocking: Maybe (depends if it's in the budget)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe with an APU (although no point since Trinity and the 7xxx series arn't out yet.) or if its cheap!
Monitor Resolution: 1355x768 is what my laptop is running. So anything similar or bigger is fine.
Additional Comments: It needs everything. Monitor, OS, keyboard and mouse...etc I plan on using it for moderate gaming such as Dragon age origins, TF2, SC2 and maybe Skyrim (but id be fine with playing it on low) Iv just been having trouble getting pricing because the taxes for BC is 13% + shipping it kills a lot of the budget. I have no preferences but any future proofing is a +. Should I just wait for ivy bridge and the 7xxx series GPUs? Because there is no real rush on this. Although the laptop I have (I3 380M with integrated graphics) doesn't rock I can still play TF2 and SC1 and it's been keeping me entertained so far!
