    Hello all, I know there are probably a million posts exactly like this an I apologize. I've fallen behind in the game in terms of PC technology. I'm looking to put together a new rig for around 800 dollars but am not sure what will give me the best bang for my buck.

    If anyone is willing to help I'd really appreciate it. Look forward to playing with you all.

    Looks pretty good. Only problem I see is that the combo processor/Mobo deal is no longer available from what I see. Actually...a few of those pieces are unavailable. Probably due to the high volume of purchases from that tutorial:)

    The 8800GT is still unavailable. Do you reccomend the GTS250 in this case?

    If you're in Canada you'll need to find similar components on Newegg's Canadian website. Look for my link in the article for Canadians. :D

    i recommend NCIX.com for canadians. newegg doesn't have any actual warehouses in canada, anything you buy still has to cross the border.
