[Why_Me]

I just browsed that Memory Express site...and calling it a hose job doesn't do it justice. To bring the price down on this build just switch out that video card to a gtx 570.

FREE SHIPPING ftw.

These two sites down below are affiliated...they both use the same shipping addy in Richmond, BC, and they are both free shipping. These two sites are probably the most used on here by far for Canadian builds.

yep, look at the SATA III SSD's for the latest and greatest (quickest). Crucial, Corsair, and OCZ ...on both of those sites. And that case I posed comes with a 2.5" SSD cage.
