Buying new computer

[Dabears]

Hey, I am looking to buy a new computer via. Future Shop, Best Buy, etc. All I want to use it for is playing acouple of computer games, alot of music, and being able to run quite a few programs at a time with out ALOT of lag.
The most I want to spend is $700 CAD.
Thanks, David

If I had a nickel every time somebody said this (including myself), than I'd be a rich man. lol, it's definitely the smarter choice though.

building a computer isn't hard.

Computer build including screen, on that budget, it is tight, i'll let someone else do it. I'm more of a big budget man

yeah good, AMD not good for what he wants to do. Intel is better! Doesn't have a good graphics card, so that is not a good one. http://www.computerforum.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

If it makes it any easier, I would move it to $800, till not a 'big budget'.

Definately check out futureshop, they got some sweet deals on for 'back to school'.

Desktops for 500, 600, 700 and a wide variety of good internals.

I saw one for 650 bucks with quad cpu, 640hdd, 4gb ram, 9000-series graphics, media reader, dvd burner, and a bunch of other goodies.

 

[Dabears]
