You could get more. My friend was on a budget for around that, and ordered from NCIX, and got a EVGA 7800GT, EVGA NFORCE 4, an X2 3800, Antec case +450watt psu, 2gb ocz ram (i think the same as those), for about the same price.

edit: and adonis, where do you live in Canada? cause pccanada.com might be better if u live in the ontario region

He prob. got the 7800gt+free mobo combo, the one I picked out will be able to run all high.

Re: New computer...

Well he said he can spend enough to get him a 7900GT. So why not.

For everyone wondering I live in Thornhill (20 min drive north of DOWNTOWN Toronto)

Would I also get decent fps?

Re: New computer...

Oh hell, I made a little mistake. I read the $1100 us as your cad limit. Everything is the same, but switch the graphics card to this:

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=17950&vpn=256-P2-N563-AX&manufacture=eVGA

and switch the psu to this:

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=16685&vpn=TPII-550&manufacture=ANTEC

The new total is:1206.25

And yes, you will be able to play all high 1280x1024 4xaa 16xaf with very good fps.

Re: New computer...

edit : oops never mind...

Is there anything else I would have to buy? (like fans, etc)

[Sir. MatDef]

Re: New computer...

The cpu is the same, I only switched to a better psu and a faster graphics card.

Re: New computer...

Nope, though if you can, add a few more bucks and you can get a sli mobo too, which you might like to have later on.
