its pretty hard to do everything with taxes

its much higher than your budget espically after 13% tax but id do the following

1: look around tigerdirect.ca for deals everyday
2: use ncix.com since they have a weekly sale and they always have good deals
3:buy things seperately and when they are on sale
4:price match at ncix. you can do that right in their shopping cart by posting the URL

yeah i live in ontario. also, you can probably talk your way to a discount at ncix stores

Here is a gaming build for you:

i5-3570k - 235
Asus p8z77-V Lk - 160
Crucial Ballistix 8 Gb DDR3 1600 1.5V RAM - 55
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - 35
WD Caviar Blue 500 Gb - 70
Crucial m4 64 Gb - 80
MSI Twin Frozr Radeon 7850 - 265
Corsair Carbide 300R - 82
Corsair TX650 - 72
DVD Drive - 20
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit - 100
Total without taxes and shipping = $ 1174

Its over your budget but I think it is worth it.

ALso, you can bring that price down if you shop around. Here are some Canadian websites that I have used: Directcanada.com, Bestdirect.ca, NCIX.com.

where do you live in toronto. ncix has some stores around Mississauga, markham, and downtown toronto. shopping online with ncix for me was a breeze and they email you in every step of the payment process.

That is unfortunate dude. However, I can tell you that some prices from Tigerdirect is too high. For example, the MoBo in the build I suggested (Asus p8z77-v LK) while 160 at Tigerdirect is 125.81 at DirectCanada.

I know man. I bought an XFX Double D Radeon 7950 for my build as it was on sale. The following couple of weeks, the gtx 670 came out at the same price! It was so frustrating.
