Alright, here we go, I've decided I need a new computer simply because the one I have is outdated and old and just isnt getting the job done. I wanna start fresh with a computer that can be upgraded in the future but still kick ass in the present. It's going to be a PC I use for 3ds max as I do a lot of animating for school, side jobs etc. Also I do lots of video editing and perhaps having it run a couple of high end games would be nice. I've compiled together a bunch of system pieces that I believe will make a good system, the price being about $912.00 at DirectCanada.com I live in Ontario and this is the cheapest site I've seen for computers that ship to me free. Alos better than what is around my area. If you've got better suggestions for me I wouldn't mind going a little higher than what I got now, but I'd say my budget is prolly gunna cap at about $950. Much regards for all your help everyone. Here's what I've picked out right now anyways. Motherboard: MSI P55-GD65 ATX LGA1156 P55 DDR3 CrossFire SLI 2PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 PCI-E4 2PCI eSATA GBLAN Motherboard $163.65 CPU: Intel Core I5 750 Quad Core Processor Lynnfield LGA1156 2.66GHZ 8MB Cache $218.88 GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 260 Sonic 625MHZ 896MB 1100MHZ DDR3 PCI-E VGA DVI HDMI Video Card $190.12 PSU: Coolermaster Silent Pro 850W Modular Power Supply SLI ATX12V 24PIN Active PFC PCI-E 135mm Fan $142.60 Optional PSU: Corsair TX750W 750-Watt Power Supply $110.40 (I dunno what would be better really?)

Alright so I added some RAM: 4G PC3-10666 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1333 CL9 240PIN DIMM Memory Kit $102.68 but that puts me at over $1000 and I dunno if I wanna spend that much, wheres a smart place to downgrade now and shave off some dollars?
