Ok. Well i havn't been around for the updates in the computer technology lately so i figured you guys could help me out. I am looking to buy a gaming computer my budget is about $2000 give or take. I am Canadian so neweeg won't help. Thank You in advance
 
Alright, a build for $2,000 will be good.

Here we go:


Total - $1294.92


Hope this is good.
 
case is nice but with that budget he could go with a nice Lian Li case and another video card

nice picks

EDIT: oh yeah don't forget the OS
 
It is hard to find things on Tiger Direct, i would go for the a HD4570, but i can't find them!

Only the 3 radeon series.

Well yeah they are about the same at the moment, if you can find a radeon on tigerdirect.ca post a link and i + other members will tell you if it is good or now.

P.S. - Make sure it is a 4 series like HD4???
 
Just a hint.
A good Canadian website for computer parts is also www.canadacomputers.com i found they had fair prices and all, i bought my computer from there and it's running fine.

@OP: For a video card defiantly get the Radeon HD4850 or HD4870 or you could wait until the HD4870x2 or HS4850x2 come out (i think thats going to kill nvidia altogether or at least leave them in the dust a little.)
