Looking for new Desktop Tower

Hey All,

basically its really simple, im looking to get into a new desktop pc, nothing special just fairly average but good for source.

Ive looked at a couple websites but none really ship to Canada.

Im looking for around a 500$ PC, fairly simple, something that will run source nicely.

If you have any suggestions or websites for me to look at, please post and let me know.

It must also be able to ship to Canada, Ontario.

Kyle

Id prefer a prebuilt computer, but im not afraid of building. Operating system installed is a plus to.

I'd just build yourself something. Generally a $500 system isn't even offered by builders or if they are they are not anything to look at for gaming.

try ibuypower if you really don't want to build yourself

For 500 dollars and capable of gaming, that will be tough, especially with the fear of building yourself.

your best and cheapest bet would be to wait for one of the HP computers woot.com periodically sports with a couple gigs of ram and a q6600 for around 500 bucks, then add a pci-e video card yourself, depending on what you get for between 100-200 dollars.

Build it! Youll get way more for your money, and its not very hard; just do your research and dont be afraid to ask questions. I dont know if you have Frys in Canada, but if you do check them out, they have good prices (even better if you get the ad that they have in the paper)

Isnt Newegg going to start shipping to Canada soon?
