1) What will you be doing with this PC?
I want to be able to watch hd videos, internet, word processing, and very little gaming things like age of empires 2 or online poker

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
800-1000 CDN after tax
Please use www.a-power.com to find the parts
Or www.newegg.ca (but remember to add in shipping cost also)

3) Where do you live?
British Columbia, Canada

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
I need everything really. Also add in keyboard and mouse, 20-22" monitor and I will need a wireless card for the desktop.

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing?
Just reusing a set of JBL Creature II speakers

6) Will you be overclocking?
There is a small possibility if I'm comfortable with it

7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
I would like it to be 20-22"

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
About a month

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
I'm not too sure what exact features I need as I am pretty new at this but if you could just look at what I'm using the computer for and give me your 2 cents about What I need.

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7, 64bit


Thanks alot guys!

$690 plus tax and shipping.

Choose your own keyboard, mouse and wireless card. The above build will more than meet your needs. The onboard video should be more than enough for the games you've mentioned. Yes the EA-380D is enough power for that setup.

Thanks a lot for that build Danny!

I'm thinking I will upgrade the 500gb to 1tb and maybe just upsize the monitor. Other than that I really appreciate that.

Cheers bud!

edit: do you think i'm going to need any other fans along with it?
 
Yeah I'll grab two of them and put them in the front. And the onboard video card will be fine for viewing hd material correct?
