    Custom gaming pc budget

    It's probably do-able if you are budgeting 500 for just the system. It would be pretty slim if you had to buy a monitor, OS, keyboard/mouse etc. Other thing you could try is going on Kijiji to see what's out there. Lots of guys are selling packages for around your price range.

    PC Gaming is Dead

    Well, I was, (and still am) an xbox gamer, but I'm in the process of building a gaming PC. Mainly it's going to be for SC2, but I know once I start playing PC it's going to blossom into many other games as well. It's an exciting time for me! Haven't played any pc games since SC1 and Counter-strike.

Not sure if I'm better off buying from the us or someplace local. A-comp.ca is here in Edmonton but they seem a little expensive. Once I figure...

    Great responses fella's.. thanks very much. @leonlee... If I'm going to be switching out nearly everything, perhaps I would be better off just buying everything myself and putting it together? Would it be cheaper in the long run?

    Thanks for the response. No never put a comp together before but have put in video cards and extra ram and things. THis one is already built but I would have no trouble swapping a cpu at some point. Thanks for the input.
