A monitor as well preferably 19 - 20 Inches LCD

Please use newegg.ca not .com
thanks in advance
It can be in the range to $400 - $500 W/ Shipping at about $34

you can find the same parts in .CA anyway.
Not quiet giving a shit, just posting because i feel like it.
Here's your Canada edition, different pricing of course.

You wanna give me a link to your build
and it matters of .ca and .com because the price is different
Ok how is this build?
It comes to a total of $480.08 With shipping and GST
Note: The monitor is free shipping
Is everything compatible?
I think the Case and PSU is a bit too much?
Suggestions?

If i wanted AMD all i would need to do were to replace the CPU and Mobo correct?

Ok great so the above build is compatible correct?
Do you think I would be better off going to AMD, I dont think I would save much maybe $40-50
Is the case too much ?

case comes with psu, unless you have a extra case lying around, then just buy the psu only.

Motherboard normally comes with a set ( around 3-5 sata cables, some even included molex to sata connector and 2 IDE cables) unless is a OPEN BOXED.
