Hello everyone,

So I am looking to build a system for my brother for X-mas, I'm looking to get him something he will be able to use for a few years with minimal upgrades. He's is into gaming mostly, so I am looking for suggestions on the following components.

Processor, Motherboard, Video Card, RAM, Hard Disk, Power Supply

He won't be using the system to it's fullest extent, so I'd think anything like SLI or RAID is unnecessary.

Lastly, I won't want to buy top of the line everything, but not too far off. Cost is of course an issue.

I like to deal with NCIX

Any suggestions you guys have are appreciated, thanks in advance.
 
You live in canada or us?

if so link to where you plan on buying and how much cash you plan to spend.
 
canadian prices are confusing me, how much is that in usd? ill build one for that price on a different site and prices should translate similar

also you need a case, im sure you can shave off cost with a cheaper mobo, different ram, psu ect but this should get you in the direction you want to go.
