My budget is $1100 cdn I've done research and this is what I've come up with.
I'm not buying online unless there's a REAL good deal.
I doubt I'm gonna overclock and I'm not getting 64 bit
All prices are cdn

I'm taking a 80hd+monitor from my old comp
and I have LG 4081b dvd burner already.
question#1: for opt#2 mobo do I need an sata hd or can I still use ide hds?
question#2: do I really need the deluxe version of that mobo?I don't see myself using the wifi option or raid and the giga Lan function I don't know how it would be useful if my isp doesn't use it.
What do you think?
