Right now the PC I'm using is aged, and its aging eve more as we speak. So, we all know what that means? Yes we do, time for a new build. I've been going over it for the past day or two, kudos and thanks to McNeo for his help and thoughts. What I'm looking for is feedback and suggestions. I'm open to just about anything but I'd rather not break the $1,000 mark by too much if I can.

Right now I have about three LGA775 builds floating around my head, but I'll only be posting one for now, please, tear it apart, look it over and make suggestions. If you're going to be posting links to products I'd appreciate it if you'd take the time to link to a Canadian retailers, NCIX and Anitec are my preferred shopping grounds.


So, lets get started?

Motherboard:
DFI LP Dk P45-T2RS
The DFI LP Dk P45-T2RS is on the top of my list, its a keen motherboard with a full feature set. But likewise its more expensive than some other, and equally capable counterparts like Asus' P5Q Pro.
$189.99

CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
The E8400 packs a good kick, recent price drops make it even more of a steal than before.
$198.36

Video Card
Diamond Radeon HD 4850
The 4850 is one of the best best cards on the market for its price, and its highly appealing to me. I am however put off by the idle and peak temps.
$189.99

RAM
Mushkin HP PC2-6400
Two sticks of 2GB each, excellent customer support as well as rock solid performance and one of the most dedicated share holders I've ever seen(MushkinGreg I love you).
$104.99

Power Supply
Mushkin HP-550
550W modular power supply, nice and affordable with a solid performance reputation. Couple that with Mushkin's customer service.
$84.99

Case
Coolermaster CM 690
Good airflow and solid construction, also bottom mounting PSU? A personal fav of mine, but I'm completely open to suggestions.
$78.54

Hard Dive
Hitachi Deskstar P7K500
Simply the most affordable option I found.
$85.99

Optical Drives/Additional Components
LG G-H20NS15
Cheap and it should do its job.
$30.44

ASUS WL-138G-V2 Wireless G Network Adapter
Most affordable Wireless card I could find, that I trusted. By this point money is getting tight, but it's still a key component.
$29.25



That should be everything, if you see or feel I've missed anything pipe up, any feedback is good feedback. I've been out of this game for awhile, so I may have made a few unwise choices in this little wish list. With all applicable taxes the total should be: $1,111.64
