PCMech is good.

http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/index.htm

I read over that before I built mine and it had everything I needed to know. (I had help from a friend when I built it the first time, and everything he said/did was in that guide)

Plus, if you have problems, you can ask some of us! :) Some of us are mildly compotent in computers.

I am weak. Just ordered a new video card from Newegg.

I figure a pci express configuration will have to wait.

As a last resort I guess there good.But I think they come with mobos/PSU that are propriety so you cannot upgrade.same with Dell aswell.Try IBuypower.Or monarch computers aswell,these PCs you should be able to fully upgrade in the future.Shame you can build it yourself,it would save you allot of $$$$$

Val, it's so easy even a canadian can do it. :P Seriously though I bet that someone would be willing to sit on the phone or TS and help you out. Actually, doesn't one of us live within stalking distance of you?

That would be Tackalt. He's doing some weird cult thing somewhere and won't be back till the 1st I think he said.

Ok well since everyone is getting a new computer I was thinking (never good)

Athlon 64 3200
2 gig ram PC 3200
160 gig HD
GeForce 6800 GT 265meg
And a bunch of ofther piddly crap

About $1800 U.S

Seem like a fairly decent deal. newegg doesn't ship to Canada btw
so it's not from there.

I can easily afford it and it's quite an upgrade from my current rig. Should I?

Yes? No?
