Building computer on a budget.

[roachm]

I'm looking to spend about $1,200 CDN and will be using this computer mostly for gaming, movies, and music. I haven't been paying close attention to the recent stuff coming out lately, and I don't want to waste my money. Anyone who could come up with a general setup for me would help alot.

All I need someone to do is basically pick me out a good mobo and cpu, along with ram and video card. I can handle all the other crap.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

So just $1200 CDN for mobo, CPU, RAM and video card?

What size monitor do you have?

No no, about 1200 in total thats why its a little tricky.

I already have a good monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Just need a system. If someone wants to go ahead and pick a case, HD, DVD drive and all that stuff too then go ahead, I was just hopin to get suggestions for a CPU, mobo and video card that would land me in the 1200 range.

OK, just to make sure, what exactly do you need for $1200 CDN? OS, DVD burner, fans, RAM, etc?

Also, will you be doing any overclocking?
Again, what size monitor do you have?
Also, what games are you planning to play?
