I'm getting an antec sonata II case w/ included 450W powersupply. Currently my build includes an amd 3800x2 and a 7900gt. I have just enough money in the budget left over to upgrade the 3800 to a 4200, however I feel that the upgrade will push me too close to my psu's limit (very little...

canadacomputers, ncix, tigerdirect.ca all sell samsun

I'm Canadian, so I'll be buying from ncix or canadacomputers, but the relative prices are about the same.

I'm buying a new 19inch lcd and am a bit torn between these three: va912b http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116353 vx924 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116355 samsung 940b http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824001066...

heh, Looks like it's just about unanymous. I should have known everybody would tell me to do what's most expensive. Getting an opty 165, 7900gt, and 2 gigs of ram puts me even more over budget than before, since the opty is much closer in price to the 4200x2 What's the big advantage to the...

I'm down to deciding on the last 3 components of a new computer. I'm debating whether I should get an amd athlon 3800 dual core with a 7900GT and a gig of ram (probably upgrade the ram in a years time), or a 4200x2, with a 7600GT and 2 gigs of ram. The latter would still be a bit cheaper, and...

I already have a good set of speakers. It's mostly the motherboard and processor that I'm unsure of. I don't plan on doing any overclocking so I figure a good dual core processor and a relatively inexpensive but reliable motherboard is what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for a decent Case that comes with an ~480Watt PSU in the <$200 range. Does anybody have any recommendations? I'd prefer to buy them together but it looks like I'm going to have to buy them both seperately.

Hey, I'm relatively (comparing myself to most of the users on here) computer illiterate and need a bit of advice on my new computer. My biggest concern is my processor and motherboard; I've always used pentium in the past, but after reading up on it a bit more I can't think of many reasons why...
