Thanks!
Are there any alternatives to the processor/video card that I can find at canada computers instead of ordering online?
Also dual core vs a quad core will it make a huge difference? if yes I don't mind paying extra for quad core

none that i can think of. i wouldnt go less than a 2100 and 6850. you should call the CC store you go to and ask them if they have it in stock.
no huge difference for gaming. the dual core might be a little slower when it comes to multitasking though.

AMD Bulldozer X4 FX-4100 (95W) Quad-Core Socket AM3+, 3.6GHz, 8Mb Cache, 32nm (FD4100WMGUSBX)
AMD Bulldozer X4 FX-4170 (95W) Quad-Core Socket AM3+, 4.2GHz, 8Mb Cache, 32nm (FD4170FRGUBOX)
AMD A6-3650 Quad Core 2.6GHz APU Socket FM1, 4Mb L2 Cache, 100W 32nm (AD3650WNGXBOX)

Okay, and should I keep it at 4gb of RAM?
Everything will fit into the tower right?

you could go for 8gb but its not necessary imo.
yes everything will fit. if you're willing to spend around $50 more, i think they have a computer building service. that way you dont need to build it lol. might also come with a canada computer warranty. you should ask them about it

4gb is enough unless you really want 8gb.

everything fits but the motherboard is out of stock and won't be re stocked.
the case could be cheaper if you wanted to and the power supply could be changed for something else.
