Fuck it, I'll go get a job and be able to build a much better gaming comp.
Must be from canada shops, suggest best set-up.
Here is what I need:
Mobo - Can it be any Phenom II just to be sure.
CPU - AMD I love this CPU

PSU
Case
Video card - Most important for a gaming rig, so post the best! Don't be shy with the price.
Fans for cpu & case for extra vantilation (that will be the last thing to choose)
If you don't need an OS, I'd suggest my setup:
Mobo: Asus 790x
CPU: AMD x4 955 (or the AMD x4 965 if you can)
Memory: DDR3 (1333MHz or 1600MHz) 4GB (2x 2GB)
PSU: Corsair 750W (non-modular one to save money)
Case: A matter of opinion. I can tell you that the airflow on the Antec 300 is nice. I'm getting good temps.
Video Card: 5770 xfire or 5850 single (I'm going with 5770 xfire)
Additional Fans: None needed unless if you're overclocking. My GPU temp idles at 33 celcius, and my CPU idles at 30 celcius. My temps never go higher than 49 celcius on my GPU, and never higher than 41 celcius on my CPU (something like that).
- Depending on your case, you may want to purchase additional fans. If you buy the Antec 300 case, buying two 120mm fans for the front intake, and possibly a side fan also for your GPU setup would work well.
