What do you want to use the computer for?
Programs? Budget? Without this information it makes it very hard to help you

You have picked old Socket 775 technology. The power supply is also obsolete, as will be the CD drive and probably the case.

That's a Canadian site, you will pay GST/HST for your province.

PROBLEMS with a NEW BUILD? Try This!!
The most common errors are improper motherboard mounting and failure to connect all required power leads. |
