My friend is building a computer at around Boxing Day. He has access to TigerDirect, NCIX.ca, and CanadaComputers.com.
His budget is about $1300 to $1500 Canadian. In the future, he might upgrade to SLI.
We were thinking:
EVGA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard CPU Bundle - T1 Version, Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Processor 2.33GHz OEM - $470
XFX GeForce 8800 GTS Extreme Video Card - FREE Lost Planet: Extreme Condition PC Game, 640MB DDR3, PCI Express, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, Video Card - $350
OCZ (OCZ2N800SR2GK) DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz NVIDIA SLI-Ready XTC Edition 2GB (2x1024MB) Dual Channel Kit - $75
Seagate / Barracuda 7200.10 / 320GB / 7200 / 16MB / ATA-100 / EIDE / OEM / Hard Drive - $110
Lite-On LH-20A1S SuperAllwrite SATA DVD Burner - 20x DVD±R Burn, 16x DVD±R Read, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD±R DL, 12x DVD-RAM, 48x32x CD-R/RW - $50
Also, he has chosen a Power Supply and Case, though I forgot which brand and model they are. He also needs peripherals including mouse/keyboard and monitor (19-22 inch, $300 and under). Please comment and recommend any changes and state incompatibly issues. Remember, no Newegg.com because we live in Canada.
The specs might be missing some stuff. I am very sleepy and could not think properly.
