Hey, i just bought a new computer for $1500 (canadian) can you tell me if i got a good price for the parts? Intel p4 3.2E 512mb DDR p4p800E Deluxe Xchaser case LG 16x Dvd -/+RW 160 7200RPM GB maxtor I bought those parts and will be combining them with my old parts: floppy drive 1 20 gig drive 1 6 gig drive 1 Toshiba dvd-rom and a soundblaster card.

You should've asked before you bought it, not after Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @8x210mhz 512mb PC3200 Ti4200/8X 128mb WDC 60GB

I haven't bought them yet.. i asked a guy to build it for me. i can still change stuff. plz post again!

UH... damn im getting stupid. I forgot to list the vid card = Radeon 9800 pro 256mb

just go to newegg.com, search for each item that you are getting, add the prices and include shipping charge and then determine if it's a good deal.

1500 is a lot ofmoney for those parts IMO, your mostly paying for the labor looks like i just put together a system and heres my costs. nec dvd_rw 3500ag. $70.00 on new-egg Asus a7n8x-deluxe. $150 i think new-egg Amd athlon xp 2200. $80 anywheres Case, radio shack but has 5 case fans, $40 Samsung 160GB hd. $120 i think, new-egg nvidia geforce 5200, bought last year $140 , BestBuy. 768 MB of ddr ram about $140-ish So i payed about $500-$550 for a pc i use to do Photoshop and other editing stuff and it runs Doom 3 quite nice. So, point is, buying namebrand is good if you want a single warranty or dont have the time to build yourself, but i say save youself a thousand dollars, build it yourself and you learn something in the process :)

cpu+$280, ram=$85, dvd=$85, 200g hdd=$132, motherboard=$150, case antec with power supply=$115 all in Canadian dollars from NCIX.
