Thanks alot

Get an i5 3470

Get an h77 motherboard

Get a 350-400w PSU (if you never plan to add a GPU)

Drop the CPU cooler. The stock one is fine.

 

[Tu Dong]

thanks didn't know that the cpu come with cooler

 

[Tu Dong]

I just reprice and the different is only $54 bucks $20 cpu but they don't have the cpu need to order online and pay $10 shipping, $10 motherboard asus P8H77, $24 for cooler. This canadacomputers.com i buy from has something call bunbles and it save little here and there. The final price is $742 vs $788 (764). The only real saving is the cpu dual core vs quad core

What are you going to use this system for? I might recommend an AMD APU over an Intel if it's just basic business software, maybe try something like this:

Yeah that build will definitely suit your needs just as easily as an i5 will but will consume a lot less power. Just add a BD-R drive and you're set.

the thing is i just want to buy everything from canada computers. I try to build something in similar price.

That is WAY too much PSU. Get a 400w unit MAX.

Corsair Builder Series Modular CX430M 430 Watt 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Power Supply (CP-9020058-NA) $29 this will do ?

Personally I think if you're going to use onboard video it'd be better to go with the A10 - Intel HD 3000 is a less than adequate GPU.

 

[Tu Dong]

Sorry for the multiple posts I have no idea how that happen.

can the mini atx be install on the Prodigy ? I may put a graphic card in if it is too slow. Her budget is $1000 per computer. And I will need to buy 3 of them. I am still way below the budget just don't want to buy to much of a system that is all.

Currently we are running winxp from dell precision 450 with the apg video card which is really old. The upgrade is because the new software for xray require win 7 plus the pc is starting to show it age.

And to save money on the OS you can buy a Windows 7 OEM: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986

For some reason the deal on three of these licenses is $70 less than the actual 3 pack. :lol:

 

[Tu Dong]

I have a budget of $3000 for the 3 computers

For what you want them to do, this is simply WAY too much money. For $600 a machine, they will be more than you need.
