Right. So, i made my first build last year...which..was great..hasn't let me down yet. Thing is...i just really wanted to build another computer. So, i convinced my dad to give me a budget..so i could build a comp for my mom, since..hers, doesn't like people. My budget is $1500 Canadian dollars. Here is what i have scrambled up in the last hour. Take a look. Tell me what you think.

Keep in mind, its not a gaming computer..just..a basic work computer for word precessing..graphics processing..il probably add a dvd player..a pretty case. I just want a computer that wont give her a hard time. Compatible parts?
 
$1500 Canadian For that?
My build was $1300 and way better. Like wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better!
I could build that for $800 max...
 
Well. 1500 in total. But, i am just trying to build a sufficient computer. She wont be doing much on it.
Here's what i have now.

I hate to say it..but, this is also a matter of convenience. I want to have this shipped before Christmas...and..the only two good places to shop online in Canada is tiger direct and ncix. Last time i ordered TG, i got i right away. The ncix stuff didn't come for nearly a month and a half. Then when i sent a message canceling the order, they shipped it and replied to my order the next day. So..bleh. Id rather jus buy all of it from TG.
 
well buddy if your going to build it yourself then you better do some more homework...your board has pci express, and you want to get an agp card...no...get a pci express interface...and if your spending that much on a computer you better be sure that it has a dual core cpu, such as the core 2 duo line...you are way overpriced for what you have down...that computer could be bought and built from tiger direct for 850 tops...home work....its the best way to shop...check specs and be sure you know what your getting and that all specs on all parts say tha same things
