Went on TigerDirect and quickly picked out some parts:

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/ ... P450-9616/
or
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/ ... =P450-8831

Total is $855~$885 CAN + Tax

Suggestions? Comments? ... Flames?

PS I mostly use it for gaming(sro...), and school

Mobo: Asus P5N-D Motherboard
Graphics Card: GeForce 8800 GT

+1

Price difference from the 8600 to the 8800 is minimal but performance is very noticeable.

why do people always buy after market fans? mines works great, unless you overclocking you should have no need for one.

Since you're looking at the canadian tiger direct, try http://www.ncix.com

Top notch delivery, really cheap prices, bought there a lot. They allow bank transfer too if you don't have/want to use a credit card.

browsed for 1 min and it seems MORE expensive...

Im not sure about this but I think the 9600 gt is better than the 8800 gt and it is about $80 on newegg. But I think you are from Canada and I don't know if Newegg ships there.

EDIT - Never mind looked around and the 8800 seems to be better but is still a lot cheaper.

no biggy, NCIX is better still i think.

From what I've seen tiger has the worst prices, NCIX is in the middle and Newegg has the lowest.

That cpu heatsink looks about as good as the intel one. I think you should look for something better.
One that I saw did great under a few tests.
