So a couple of days ago I decided I should build my new computer. After looking around on the internet and at advice through this site and others I have picked out a rough draft of what I think is the best rig for my money. The problem that I am having is that, to my understanding, newegg does not deal with canada. Thus I have a problem. All the advice that is given or builds shown are from newegg. I was wondering where a canadian should buy his computer parts from. I think Lu Computers has had the best prices so far and they operate in canada. With that in mind is this set up the best I can get for the money I want to spend (originally around 1000 but with moniter and OS it came to a little more).

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe E6750 2.66GHz FSB 1333, 4MB CPU ($199)
Mobo: ASUS P5N-E SLI Motherboard ($126)
RAM: Corsair XMS2 Twin2X SLI ready RAM - 2048MB DDR2 800 ($150)
HD: Seagate 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache IDE ($116)
Video Card: nVidia EVGA 8800 Superclocked 512MB GDDR3 DVI ($269)
Case: Coolmaster Centurion 5 Case (Silver) ($66)
PSU: 520W Corsair HX Power Supply ($107)
CD/DVD: LG Combo drive 52X CD-RW 16X DVD-ROM ($35)
OS: Vista 32-bit ($110)
Moniter: 19'' LCD Samsung 931BW Wide, 1440 X 900, 2000:1 2ms, ($228)
Keyboard, Mouse,Speakers: 3 in 1 combo ($30)

Total: $1436.00

I am wondering if anything is missing, anything can be taken out, or any other suggestions. Thank you.

Change the motherboard to one with a P35 chipset, the Asus P5k deluxe or something.

Apart from that, big thumbs up.

Buy from NCIX, it's the best offer for canada. If u live in near vancouver, bc, you can pick it up in-store. Oh ya, u can price beat Plus right now, u can buy the 7900 gs for 89 and a hardrive for 99
