Hey everyone. My friend wants to get a new computer, but not spend more than about $800 canadian. We need to allow about $200 for shipping bringing the grand total to $1000. I have picked out some parts but dont know if they are any good together. They are not the best parts, but they are reasonably priced. case: APEX PC-115 Beige Computer Case - Retail at Newegg.com CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz Socket 939 Processor - Retail at Newegg.com MoBo: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail at Newegg.com RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail at Newegg.com HD: Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB 3.5" IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - Retail at Newegg.com Power Supply: ENERMAX EG651P-VE FM(24P) 550W Power Supply - Retail at Newegg.com Video Card: DIAMOND Radeon X600PRO VX600PRO256 Video Card - Retail at Newegg.com I know the RAM and video card arent very good, but they are realatively inexpensive. What do you think? Will these parts work together?

Just know that Newegg doesn't ship to Canada at this point in time. If that's the case, then you'll want to look at TigerDirect or NCIX.
Here's what I came up with off TigerDirect with all prices in CAN. I'm not sure what his needs are, but if this is to be a gaming box, a Radeon X600 won't cut it these days. Motherboard: Biostar TForce4 AM2 $95.99 CPU: Athlon64 3200+ AM2 $107.99 RAM: OCZ XTC 2x 512MB PC2-5400 $108.99 Video Card: XFX GeForce 7600GT $170.99 Hard Drive: Seagate 160GB SATAII $76.97 Optical Drive: Pioneer 110DBK DVDRW $54.99 Case: CoolerMaster Centurion 5 $63.99 Power Supply: Enermax 535W $114.99 Total: $794.90 (+shipping, any applicable taxes)
I've got an idea. Why dont you just click in your signature and give away a free system to ur friend??
I'm with BB on this one, that'd be a great system, I wouldn't really spend that much on an optical drive myself but you can tweak that to you're likeing.
just one question i believe the mobo and RAM will work together but can someone make sure please? I am refering to the build that Big B posted
