Hey guys,

Can you put together a system for me. I have been out of the loop for awhile and don't know whats worth getting over what. Its for a client and the biggest issue is it must be reliable, as in no cheapo parts to save money.

What I need...

Case
PSU
Mobo
CPU
RAM
(Possibly a HardDrive, he has an old one so if I max out the budget before I get to this point then i'll use that)
Windows Vista

Budget: 650-700 CDN$

I'm in Canada so im limited to tigerdirect.ca, ncix.ca, canadacomputers.ca, etc.

Its going to be used for his business, so no gaming, media, etc. Therefor I thought I could get away with onboard video/audio.

Thanks for any help,

Foz

I'm not HG but I think I can whip up something decent:):

Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 CPU - $154 CAD
Asus P5E-VM HDMI Intel G35 mATX Motherboard - $154 CAD
G.Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 RAM - $56 CAD
Western Digital WD6400AALS 640GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - $105 CAD
Antec Sonata III ATX Case with Antec Earthwatts 500W PSU - $140 CAD
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP1 OEM - $134 CAD

Total: $643 CAD Plus tax and shipping

The above setup should be very very stable and fast. If your client doesn't have any legacy apps or devices that are incompatible with Vista 64bit, I recommend getting Vista 64bit so that your client is able to use most of that 4GB of RAM (Some of it is taken by the motherboard for graphics):
