Well ive come into a bit of money. I figured i got basically everything i <i>need</i> so i would concentrate on some frivolous ****. Basically I want a comp that will play HL2 and Doom 3 and such. I need everything except monitor, mouse and keyboard. I dont need prices, i can find that out myself, i got about 3 grand Canadian to spend. If you could help me out or point me to a good reference itd be super.

NewEgg doesn't ship to Canada. I presume that since he gave his price range in Canadian dollars, he lives in Canada.

These are my specs, feel free to copy them. They are still top of the line, considerably speaking barring prototypes and such or minor variations in clock speeds.

Pentium 4 3.02ghz with Hyper Threading
P4C800-E Deluxe ASUS Motherboard
4096mb PC3200 DDR Memory
Twin 120 gig 15,000rpm SCSI Drives using the MB Raid controller for Raid 0
Soundblaster Creative Audigy
ATI Radeon 9800 XT

Also got other bells and whistles but the above is what you should get if you want a truely kick azz HL2 + D3 Experience.

Hope it helps.
