Well as the topic name say i'm going to buy a new computer in a couple of day
Here price range:
600-800$ CAD - Best
800-1000$ CAD - Might be able to buy
1000$+ CAD - Impossible ^^
CAD = Canadian $
so yes i live in canada and would need to be able to deliver to canada if its from an "online store"
-Need Good Processor
-Would like DDR3 RAM
-Enough memory slot to boost to 16-24GB ram (will buy more RAM later don't need all RAM for now so not include in price but must be able to boost to..)
-Don't need graphic card (already have one)
-Not a laptop^^
Hope some pro of computer parts can help me make the best choice ^^

Just a curiosity before I start looking for a build for you, what graphics card are you going to use?
Because if it's a low end card and you have a high end processor and you want to play games then most likely your graphics card will bottleneck your processor. Therefore, your performance in games won't turn out so great.
Or are you going to use this to host a server considering you want 16-24GB of RAM.

Yeah exactly wtf would you need 24gb ram to?
Sharaed dedicated hosting is about that much 
Yes as Ndure said:
- What videocard you got?
- What are you going to use it for
- Got anything more you want to save?
- Does the sound matter much (/little)?
- What case do you prefere, childish with alot of "bling" or more stylish clean look, etc etc...?

Oh I ment the noise level.
But you prob need a killer machine to host a good pserver.
Along with a good up/down -load.
Okey but I fix a nice package later on, newegg.ca sound fine?

| Keep in mind that alot of pre-built PCs come with shitty power supplies, so don't be surprised if you buy a pre-built PC and it won't power up your 9800 GTX+.

I suggest you to take the comp the other guy showed..
Atleast somthing like that..
Change motherboard to a cheaper tho and might change from 940 to 920.
You can save more on case and getting cheaper ram and getting only 2*2gb which will be more then enought anyways.
You could also save some on a other hdd.

It is but honestly I would just build your own PC as it isn't that hard.
At least you know the quality of the components your getting if you build yourself..
