that's about $760 (Canadian). Although you can get a whole system for that price, it would be base (a.k.a crap) system. The parts you're getting are making me jealous, I'd like to get that for my system :nod:

They look good, should last a good 3-4 years as well.

someone just mentioned the PSU and i will/might have to get a new one:


You seem to be missing a power supply, your old one won't run that lot it needs a 24 pin ATX power connector plus a PCI-E connector and the old ATX 1.0 standard only has a 20 pin power connector and no PCI-E connectors.


hmm, they are about £20 are they not?
