considering
10 Canadian dollars = 9.38174 U.S. dollars

pretty he'll be just fine

Considering that exchange rate is only a small factor.

Shipping + tax + overcharge;

A $500 USD computer will cost easily $650 CAD

We can't order from the American site, currency exchange isn't the only matter we need to worry about.

hence why rolling with onboard graphics for a while and upgrading later



wth dont people get about upgrading....

Hence, why 500 and gaming don't go together lol

you can game on some of the newer chipsets, the 785g i recomended specifically because of its HD4200 graphics chipset, which will play ALOT of games that are out right now, and some older games at mid/high settings



then you upgrade later, to be able to crank it up

leave it to the pros, OP this beats all builds, it's newegg.ca and you've got onboard ATI HD4200 with EVO edition motherboard, which has extra Side port memory for gpu, and this uses ddr3 memory . . it rocks, it will rock for a good 5years+

future proof, just upgrade to a ati hd5850 or something? 5770? next year, the PSU is strong enough

If you don't play crysis 2, I'd bite ALL OVER THIS

No ice, that is not good.

That is before taxes and shipping. You made him a 600$ build.
