Default $1000 CAD Build, need some suggestions!
Alright, so my friend is looking into getting a Windows Vista PC.

He has a Macbook at the minute and he's got about $1000 CAD to spend.

I've thrown a few things together, but I want to see what others can come up with.

Please include EVERYTHING in the price, shipping & handling + taxes , OS, Keyboard & Mouse, Monitor. Every last bit. No overclocking will be done, but I would like you to throw in an after market cooler.

The Price needs to include Shipping, Handling, & Taxes to T3H3J6

what is this for? gaming I suspect?

If so, hard to do much better than what's listed above. Might want to spend $40 upgrading the hard drive to a 1 TB Western Digital Cavair Black.

Vista Home Basic would kill any system. I was lookin at picking up Home Premium probably.

Light gaming, Left 4 Dead, TF2, WoW. Mostly gonna do Photoshop and other heavy CPU/RAM tasks like that.

Which CAD software are you using? I'm using Autodesk Inventor with a 4890, i7 920, and 6gb ram. Rendering on full antialiasing takes... 30 seconds for 1600x900

CAD as in Canadian $$, not CAD as in software. SOrry for the confusion.
