Okay, I tried to use the Computer Specs thread stickied, but its kinda old now so I figured I'd make a new thread. I'm looking to spend about $1200-$1300 Canadian, including monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It'll be a family computer, and might be used for gaming occasionally (but I don't really care about playing games at absolute max settings). If possible, I'd like to be able to upgrade a few years down the road. Thanks.
Build me a computer :)

uh.... no. Dell = overpriced, cheaper parts, cheaply made. For canadian stores go tigerdirect.com

Sry no monitor. but i mean you should really look at cases, keyboard and mouse yourself. as its not a big performance deal as it is an aesthetic upgrade.
i only added those in there to give your budget more meaning.
total is $1215 before shipping.
dont go just based on my build wait for a few more people to voice their opinions mines just a good base to look at.

Looks pretty good so far ReturntoEmpire.
When you say you will casually game, what games, newer ones at all? Don't want to get stuck with a crappy gpu even if you only casually game, a 7600gt might fit nicely with that build though.
