There service and quality are great. The 3700+ is a great deal, I actually got to try it out in store (with a better video card and 1GB ram) ran Call of Duty 2 all on full settings extremely fast. Are you looking to go and pick it up from one of there stores? If so you might be able to build it for cheaper... as you can see in my sig :D Post the specs you want in your computer and I'll give you a bunch of links for the cheapest possible price.
Ive looked i cannot buy from newegg becuase im from Canada. Ive looked and I could build a pc much cheaper and with very better specs than anything from like futureshop. The thing is I know a custom one is better but if I get a company to put it all together there may be no warranty to it at all, so if it breaks in 6 months its my problem. So I wanna avoid building one but I would like to just find a decent AMD computer with a ood mainboard that I could just upgrade the cpu but here in Canada the prices are rediculous. I just went to a custom pc shop and they want $799 for an amd sempron 3000 (which I think is crazy)but if i could find a store to put it together with a warranty I would be laughing.
BTW was that $580 Canadaian? Im looking at thois canadain computer website: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProdList&cmd=pl&i... im looking to spend about $600 taxed up just for the parts, do you believe I could get this:
socket 939 (if am2 is better maybe that)
120gb hard drive
128mb video card PCI
512 mb DDr (id rather have ddr2 but i doubt with this price)
and a decent motherboard in which I can later upgrade my processor.
BTW thanks for the help and offering your assistance as I know it would ake much time.
yes my sig is $580 canadian after all taxes:D I believe you can get even better than those specs for $600 after taxes. Where do you live? That way I get you the best deals :D I live in Mississauga, Ontario so Canada Computers is right beside my house. Im getting a bunch of links right now for your computer.
Memory- Around $60 before tax
http://cgi.ebay.ca/PNY-TECHNOLOGIES-1GB-2-x-512MB-DDR2-DESKTOP-ME... I purchased all my memeory from ebay, I picked up one, and got one delivered. Nobody ever bids on the memory. If the item ends before you have a chance to bid on it, just search pny technologies in ebay.ca There are a bunch of them. This is DDR2 memory :D
The total cost if you follow all the links after taxes is $490. Which is an amazing price because the titan is $510 after taxes. Here is the comparison
Pre-built Titan
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
512MB PC3200 DDR400
160GB IDE Hard Drive
Onboard GeForce Graphics
1 Year Warranty
Custom Built PC
AMD AM2 64 3500+ (Same performance as titan because it is AM2)
1GB DDR2 Memory (512MB more than titan AND IS DDR2, huge performance gain)
250GB SATA Hard Drive (Bigger and much faster (SATA not IDE :D) than the titan's hrad drive)
BFG GeForce 7300GS 256MB (WAYYYYY BETTER THAN ONBOARD GARBAGE :D)
And there you go a custom built computer that can play today and tommorows games with way better specs for a lower price. The warranty on the custom built computer ranges from part to part, so bassically if the CPU messes up you still have AMD's 1 year warranty (same goes for all the other items).
Hope i've helped...please remember that most of the parts that I have listed are parts that are in my custom built computer so im refrencing all this because they are extremely amazing products:D
That is amazing, thank you so much for spending your time to help me out. I have 1 last question for you, is it possible for 1 part of the computer 2 break which could lead to something else breaking? ex. if my amd chip gets hot can it ruin something else that the amd chip warranty wont cover or is it basically when something breaks the computer doesnt work?
Bassically if anything breaks then you still have a warranty on it. Eg. The CPU has a 1 year warranty and the motherboard has 3 years warranty ect, ect... For a power supply it really doesnt matter, just as long as you have over 350-400Watts you'll be fine, personally I just bought a really cheap one from Canada Computers and bought a couple of y splitters so I could have everything powered up, it works real great, for your system you would probably only need 400 watts. I wasnt really planning on getting a new power supply for my custom built computer but the motherboard needs a 24 pin cable, so it was cheaper to buy a new PS then a convertor. http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pi... Thats the power supply that I bought just because it has 24 pins and is 450 watts. The PS is really your choice, just make sure that you get one that is 24 pin so it can support the motherboard that I listed. If you want a more expensive one then this one is great because its better for airflow (im not sure if its 24 pin though).
http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pi... I reccomend the $25 one just becuase thats the one that I use and it hasnt given me any trouble for the past month. Hope this helps :D
