Hey guys, its been quite awhile since I bought a computer, mine right now is currently running its 6th year. So I figure its time to get a new rig soon.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mainly gaming, web browsing and general use

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Budget I'd like to keep somewhere around 1000-1300$ CAD with tax included

3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Toronto, Ontario Canada

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
The whole shebang, I'll need CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU, Case, Motherboard, Storage (maybe SSD for OS), dvd read/write

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
none

6) Will you be overclocking?
No I won't be overclocking.

7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
1600 x 900, 20"
Could upgrade to 23" into the future.

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

Im planning on getting anywhere between Sept - Dec, I know this is a large time frame and a lot can happen within these months, but i figure I might wait for Dec since theres normally quite a few deals during christmas. Lets just say for simplicity that I am planning on getting the computer in Sept for now.

I'd prefer to pick things up from the following places:
http://www.canadacomputers.com/
http://www.ncix.ca/

However I'd be open to other places as well.

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
Don't think I need anything special.

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

Yeah that doesn't help either. Even September is too far off to start planning a PC build now. Just come back when you're 1-2 weeks away from the actual purchase date of the PC. And yes even a PC we recommend in September may not be the same PC we recommend in Dec. So why recommend a PC in Sept when you're thinking of buying in Dec? It does not help you at all to start planning a build so early.
