Try newegg...most everything on your list is 50% more expensive than the same stuff at newegg. You can get a 1500GB version of the same harddrive for less money than that 750GB costs! Personaly, I think the build is a very poor one; especialy for the price.
Remember Killerbug, this is Canada. Newegg probably still would be cheaper, but Canadian prices for hardware are far higher than in the US. Hard drive: OKish - this is a much better drive if you can stretch to it: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284 Motherboard: Good. Not sure how well the P5Q Pros hold up in the long term though. Haven't heard too many problems yet. CPU: HOW MUCH? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115207 Graphics card: Excellent. DVD drive: OK RAM: Incompatible with that motherboard. Also terrible memory. Get this instead: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145197 Case: Ugh. Raidmax cases, ridiculously styled, poorly made, and most of all, dangerous power supplies.

yea i wasnt sure about the case my friend recommended it... does newegg ship to canada? and what do you prefer ddr2 or ddr3 RAM? i have a friend that works for ms and he says ddr3.
It's Newegg.ca (Canada) and Newegg.com - separate websites. I've linked you to newegg.ca Only certain boards will take any more than 2 slots of DDR3, and most of them are expensive and rubbish. Generally, DDR2 is fine, you rarely see much of a performance benefit using DDR3 over DDR2, and DDR2 is much cheaper to boot.
k so here is the build MOBO http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=30418 Dvd drive http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=35591 GPU http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=36843 Ram http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=31395 HDD http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218 Case http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146041 PS http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004 CPU http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115207
sorry about the double post but i just noticed that this card is comparable to the radeon 4870 http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=36776&vpn=01G-P3-1155-TR&manufacture=eVGA
Lol, if only. The HD4870 1GB is a much better card than the GTS250. The HD4850 1GB is the GTS250's rival.
