            well in that case daNgLez, may I suggest that you buy components and do a self-build ?
            You would get a whole lot of PC for that money over here and we are pretty expensive compared to you guys.

              You could definitely go all out with that amount of money and get just about top of the range everything.

              things you may overlook as not so important. Get a good PSU (if the box doesn't come with one) Antec, Tagan, Enermax, Hiper, Seasonic, Thermaltake & Coolermaster are good manufacturers.

              Also if you get an LCD screen make sure the refresh rate is less than 10ms

              edit: incase you were thinging of just upgrading youll be better off building a new PC.

                  My Advice

                  NForce4 Mobo with SATA, RAID and SLI support
                  Depending on budjet, An Athlon64... even the cheepest will do a great job
                  2 Gigs of ram (its really cheep now)(NOT VALUE RAM... go for QUALITY)
                  2 SATA hard Drives Running on RAID
                  Depending on budjet A good or Fantastic Videocard by ATI or Nvidia
                  (I would suggest at least an nvidia 6800 or ati X800)
                  (keep in minde that with a SLI support mobo, you can Later on add a second card to double your Video Performance)
                  A DVD Burner.... (pnuts)
                  Make sure that your case has a QUALITY Power Supply such as Antec

                  Thats about it...
                  and that should cost you less then 1800 Canadian
