Right now I use a laptop I bought about 4 years ago it's old and need a new computer. I have no idea how to build one so I'll probably end up getting one in store unless theres a place I can buy a pre-built computer online.

was wondering if anyone knew a decent computer I could buy for $1000 (maximum before tax) or less Canadian $$$.

I play all sorts of different games, I want to play the new deus ex but my laptop wouldn't be able to run it properly if I did.

sweet thanks <3 can I get it prebuilt there or if I order do I need to figure it out myself (prefer not to) also if I get a list like that do you recommend any upgrades or anything else? I am going up to 1000 before tax / shipping

/e actually is there a decent monitor I can get? the closest store to buy one is like best buy 45 minute drive away.

Order those same parts from NCIX, and for an extra $50, they will build it for you.

NCIX will also price match.
