Hey guys,
Nub cheese here, in the market for a new rig.
Approximate Purchase Date: (This week or next, the closer the better)
Budget Range: (e.g.: $2000) After Rebates. If I need to go slightly above the 2k mark (see: 2200) that's not a huge issue. I'd like to stay as close to 2k as possible though.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (Gaming, surfing the internet, streaming media from the web)
Parts Not Required: A keyboard and mouse will be needed, but does not necessarily need to go above the $200 mark for the combo. I'm not a hardcore, competitive player so something basic will suffice (without having a crappy piece of hardware, mind you, haha) Speakers and monitor are not required *See 'Additional Comments'*
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Anything with Canadian pricing, honestly. I've never shopped for PC parts before, but I do believe Newegg had a Canadian domain as well as TigerDirect.
Country of Origin: Ontario, Canada.
Parts Preferences: As stated at the beginning, I'm not really on the up-and-up when it comes to PC's. If anything, a nice ASUS motherboard would do well as well as Intel (as opposed to AMD) for the other...part. Full tower would be sweet.
Overclocking: No idea cause I don't know how. So let's be safe and say 'Maybe'
SLI or Crossfire: I 'think' I know what this is, gonna say 'Yes'.
Monitor Resolution: *see Additional Comments*
Additional Comments: I'm looking to hook this rig up to my current television w/ surround sound system. I've got a "46 Samsung LCD TV (Model #LN46C750) and a Onkyo 7.1 Surround Sound System (Model #HT-R680). Now, this is what I'm hoping for. Having said that, I'm not sure if this is even an option. If NOT, then a monitor with speakers will be added to this setup...which would suck cause I like what I've got going.

Help me out here guys! Lookin' for a sick rig to play Battlefield 3 on Super-duper-meltface-wow settings.
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers!
Mr. Smith
