Well the budget is the single most important factor to consider when building a pc.

You can make a $500 pc or a $1500 one.

Unless you have unlimited funding

Anything from dell is shitty, and besides you can get better than that. I would find something but I know someone is gonna do it lol

custom builddddd, or at least have cyberpower do it if you cant.

pretty sure you can pick out your own case/hard drive/disc drive/OS...

i would say go custom and try and get something from evga (for the graphics card) they have life time warranties

That's a pretty nice build for that price though you can get equivalent RAM for much cheaper.

do specify it would help my build as well...

I would say definitely go for a custom build.

And I do agree that Dell is officially crap.

A budget is really needed though...
There´s a lot of people that cna help you with a nice build, suited for your budget.

If you can spend $1000 then obviously there´s gonna be a huge performance boost compared to a $550 setup, which can also be good enough, but then again that also depends on what you use it for. You should really try to describe that a bit more plus your budget

I don't deal with AMD.

Now that's a setup right there. Basically go for that, don't change a thing, and have a kickass machine for the next 2 years.

All in CAD, the shipping kills the deal to be honest but if you can find a deal which offers free shipping you're set. I got 8gb ddr2 800 for 44$ around christmas.

Tigerdirect.ca
Newegg.ca
NCIX.com

Just a few places to search around.

there is no reason at all to go i7 920 with the release of the i5 750, performance wise they mirror each other but the i5 runs cooler ( meaning is easier to oc ) and uses less power. so unless you work (like seriously) with media i5 750 is the way to go, use the saved 200 bucks on a gpu upgrade or simply keep it in your pocket.
