yes, you should be able to put together a good gaming penis for
that sort of money...try overclocking your testicles whilst you're at it.

I don't know any good canadian stores.


Off the top of my head you could probably get:

AMD A64 3200+
Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLI
2gb Corsair Value Select PC3200
Radeon X800XL/6800GT maybe even 7800GTX
120gb SATA hard drive
PSU from Seasonic/fortron/antec
case

Leaves you a case for $100





I had no idea that canadian prices sucked so bad... I'll put one together at pccanada.com too, to see if it's cheaper.

Edit: pccanada.com is just as bad..

All brands have problems with some customers. As stated, I find the Asus ones more stable than ie. Abit or MSI.

Asus is good, but the one that you picked out Tystnad, uses shitty VIA chipset rather than nF4 greatness.

You could dump the SLI mobo and grab the cheaper nF4 Ultra version if you don't see yourself ever doing SLI.

Thing is, the best thing to do now is getting an SLI right away, if youre going to upgrade anyway. biggrin:

Thats my advise, atleast.
