Hi all,
I need some serious advice regarding building a new PC. I stopped following computer technology for a couple of years, and currently I have no idea about what parts is good, and what is bad. (AMD, or Intel?, which videocard to get, etc,...).
I am not a hardcore gamer, but I do enjoy playing some new games once in a while. Other than that this computer would be dedicated to work (mainly Office, and Internet), and Movies/TV shows watching.
I live in Canada and I would like to use http://www.ncix.com/, and http://www.megacomputer.ca/ (which is a local store, so I don't have to deal with shipping)
Another concern is that I haven't build a PC in a few years, and I was wondering if there is any good Building Guide out there that you would recommend (preferable with a lot of pictures/or video)
Thanks a lot,
I really appreciate any help,

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to mention it, My budget is around 800 - 1000 (I do have a retail copy of XP and Vista, so that is not a problem, I also already have a Monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc)
