Well I made one of these threads before. I just found out my friend's dad work at NCIX and could get me discounts :D. could someone go to the NCIX website and make a list of parts I would need for a computer!

My requirements:
Budget:1000-1200 Canadian
Ram:4GB+
HardDrive: 750gb nothing more
Processor: AMD and 3.0ghz+
Video Card: 1gb + and about $200-250
Case: with about 6fans gonna oc it
OS: Vista ultimate 64bit

I have the monitor, speakers, mouse, and keyboard covered so don't worry about that

Thanks in advance link me to the computer parts please thanks!
 
Why do you want ultimate? that cost $265...
Case: why do you need 6 fans? to accomodate 6 fans, you will be looking something like Antec 1200, which cost $200
And thus, you don't have a well balanced PC.

I do suggest you go for vista premium with antec 900
 
If it has to be an AMD build :)

You also didnt realy tell us what you intend to do with the Pc,But this is what i came up with on your budget.

Total =$1,147.90

I know i missed out an Operating system,I recommend you forget Vista and download and install the x64 version of windows 7 which is free till next year,Then you can buy it :)

Also,I didnt add an aftermarket cpu cooler to the list...for AMD im not all that good with compatiable coolers.

And you wont be needing 6 fans inside a case,even for overclocking.

That case i choose is more than enough because it has vents all oevr it..

I think my build list is about the best your going to get for that budget...+ that cooler bomberboysk mentioned :)

Again you still have not mentioned what you intend to do with the machine,But i can tell you now that my build will handle anything you throw at it with ease.

Its quite high end. :)
