CPU: AMD Build - A10-5800K - $120 With this processor combined with the above MB, unless you turn your graphics all the way up, this will handle just about any modern game right now fairly easily, especially if you splurge on some higher speed RAM for it.
You just blew my mind by showing me that some AMD CPUs have decent video built right in! This changes everything. For my son's computer, I was originally planning on re-using his really old nVidia 9600GT, but AMD 7660 performance from the CPU is pretty outstanding and I would like to try that instead.
Can you suggest a case/mobo/CPU/RAM build using Newegg.ca? US newegg prices are sometimes hilariously lower than what I can get in Canada. Keep in mind that I'm also going to have to buy 2 copies of Windows and stay under $800 for the pair.
Here's what I could come up with, boy do they screw you Canucks on shipping ($34 in shipping):
Case: ToPower TP-4106BB $25 + $13 in shipping
MB: MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 $63 + $10.75 in shipping
CPU: AMD A10-5800k $130 + 0 in shipping
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series - 2133 $45 + $10 in shipping
Total price: $263 + $34 in shipping
I would also check locally for a couple 120mm case fans to add to the case. They actually cost more in shipping than their price on NewEgg.ca
That leaves you about $100 for Windows licenses.
