CAD AMD Gaming Rig

Quote:
I'll be using this computer for gaming, HD video viewing, burning DVD's then your regular web browsing and msn. However, if possible I'd like to have this system last for quite a few years and still be able to play the latest games.

To make it clear CAD is for Canadian . I've heard of a program CAD but have no idea what it is

It doesn't have to be AMD. As a matter of fact, I was about to post the same thread in the Intel forum asking for a $1200CAD gaming build. I honestly don't care if it's AMD or Intel as long as it gets the job done well.

Quote:
I will be using either NCIX or Infonec or both.

Can you show me this "dynamite AMD rig"

Quick shopping list from Newegg. Probably not the best rig you can build for 1200 but I think it is ok for gaming.

total is 995$ CAD without price match and without monitor,mouse and keyboard. price match will bring it down alot though since ncix is very overpriced.

price match it to bestdirect, directcanada. usually those sites have some good prices. also without OS.

that was easy
this is a real power pc

I'd also strongly recommend checking Canada Computers and Newegg.ca for some deals.

When I was buying my system I purchased from NCIX, Newegg and Canada Computers... ended up saving over $500 in total.

My system is worth today what I paid for it almost a year ago
