I'm going to get a new HP AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 5200+. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddet...ogon=&langid=EN
I've read alot of your forum and think that I should get the Sapphire ATI Radeon3870 or 3850. I know that I must also get a PSU(Somewhere in the $60-$90 range). I'm just hoping it will play my Medieval 2: total war good. I'm going to find out if the GSU and PSU will fit and run with this computer. If you see anything I'm missing tell me so i don't get screwed by this computer.

Well the 3870 and 3850s do run pretty hot, I am not sure if that case has good enough ventilation.

For the power supply, a Corsair HX520 will do.

jakedsnak-- Waymon3X6 is right about heat, you may wanna look into a fan that fits into an empty PCI slot or similar to help, and also right about PSU.
On a different note, I googled the model # (M8226X) from that Futureshop page you linked and found a few different places that sold the same thing for $100-150 cheaper than that store. Shop around, if you have questions about reputable online stores feel free to ask.
EDIT---Circuit City right now has the exact same thing for $599!!!
In-store only though, I am assuming you have a store somewhere in your general area by the currency of the webpage you linked. If I'm wrong, sorry to get your hopes up.
