Good compy for $2000 canadian

[Hawk16]

so i was thinking about building a really good gaming computer and this is what ive come up with:

CASE: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1010723&CatId=1520 $148.99

MOBO: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1699058&CatId=0 $283.99

This is pretty much all i got so far. I was wondering if u guys could help with the rest of the stuff. I will probably be doing overclocking with this comp so good cooling is a must. Also i need a monitor within the $2000 budget. I can also only buy off of tigerdirect.ca.

Holy shit are those cad prices? if not holy shit those are expensive compared to tigerdirect.com even if they are cad still like 40 or more dollars expensive

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1699058&CatId=0 canadian site = 290
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=1699058&sku=D452-2039 US site = 210

Check out this thread for ideas. The canadian prices are a bit higher so what Praeror suggests on page 3 is probably a nice system, and you might be able to upgrade from that slightly. You can use your motherboard and case and not the ones he suggests if you are set on it.

hey praetor, are those canadian prices or are they usd? cause the prices i find are really expensive compaired to those. also, id like to use the dfi lanparty cause i plan on ocing.

EDIT: oh and also is the x-connect better or worse than the x-finity because i want a good psu but i dont kno which one is better

 

[TheChef]

Yeah, those are canadian prices. Otherwise you can find an X2 4200 for ~$400 in USD.
