Question

Posted

Alright, so as you all know, I bought a MacBook Pro in September for school. I have been very happy with it and it has served its purpose beautifully. However, in the meantime, my old computer bit the dust and that is why I have not been around much. I am hoping to get my Macbook Pro bootcamped properly, and therefore could run DOD:S, but I also have some money to buy a new desktop. With that, the competition:

The computer must be no more than $750CDN

The computer must be DDR3, preferably with a QuadCore Processor

Fire Away, and the sooner the better!

Good News Everyone! I went to the bank to talk about getting a loan to buy the new computer, so lets hear what you guys have!

This is entirely unrelated, but when I read your post, the voice of Professor Farnsworth ran through my head.

I'm also looking to build a PC from scratch within the $1000 CDN range.. I have a friend who is going to help me put it all together.. I'll need everything except a mouse/keyboard/monitor/webcam/headset
