    I think this is good, lemme know.

    Processor (434.99) :wub::
    http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=Sh...267&cid=CPU.611
    The best processor I can afford. It's wuvable.

    Ram (134.99):
    http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...4&sku=O261-4916
    I've been told it's great quality. As much as I can afford atm.

    HDD (124.00):
    http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=Sh...5935&cid=HD.443
    Good price? If not, find me at least a 200 gb for the best price! NO NEWEGG!

    GFX Card: (115.00):
    http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=Sh...773&cid=999.243
    Once again, best I can afford for now

    Opsys (115.00):
    http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=Sh...1229&cid=SW.815
    I'll be getting Vista, so I don't wanna waste money.

    Keyboard/Mouse/Speakers (31.99):
    http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...74&sku=D15-1044
    Hey, it seems good =)

    Monitor (268.00):
    http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=Sh...8406&cid=MT.899
    Is that response time okay?

    Overall price:$1773.17/1500.00

    Approx $250 over budget, can anyone find me cheaper parts, without scaraficing too much quality?

    do you have a problem with newegg.com? I think you can find the same parts if not better there for cheaper...

    I have a build that is about 1200 that outmatches that...

    im sure deluzion could build you a REALLY nice computer build for $1500 (ive seen his $800-$1000 builds and for the price they are phoenominal)

    though his builds typically do not include a monitor/OS

    These are Canadian prices, I forgot to add. Newegg doesn't ship to canada so I can't get them there.

    ^I'd reccomend anything DeFuZioN says.

    But in my own opinion, I'd lower the CPU to a 3800+ X2 and up your graphics card. There's not enough difference to justify the price, and a good graphics card is more important in today's games than a extreme processor.

    I won't be gaming enough, so my video card can wait. I need a case with at least 450 watt PSU, otherwise, I void my motherboards warranty. I'll lower the motherboard, don't want SLi all that much.

    Anyhow, any reccomendations to lower the price?

    if you need/want, save 75 bucks, and get a 3800x2 and just OC it 10% like I did.. (thats the same as a 4200+x2

    and obviously, you wont have very good speakers, mouse or keyboard, but thats decent for being so cheap.

    Don't get PSUs that come with cases. They are almost always low quality, and you run the risk of them blowing and taking out other components. I'd reccomend a Fortron PSU.
