Would that be worth the money and is it hard to build a computer?

So far I installed a PSU, a GPU and a Hard Drive.... can anybody build their own computer with a simple tutorial?

Thank you :)

I'd go intel personally, everything else looks great.

Not worth it because you can get them all of Newegg for cheaper.

4200 ee model (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103741) (lower wattage = lower power bill)
Since you have an ATI card, ASUS M2R32 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131095)
Same OCZ memory (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227139) (with rebate!)
Same HDD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140)
I don't do ODs, so good luck there.

For your case, you should get something with a little more cooling than that.

I'm a fan of this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147033), and I own this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119074). And they're both ridiculously cheaper.

Last and most certainly not least, the PSU.

Take some of that other money you just saved and drop it on this (http://www.pcpower.com/products/viewproduct.php?show=S75QB). You could never in your life push this thing to its limits with what you own, and you'll leave yourself enough headroom to add another x1950pro in crossfire, as well as a few more HDDs, and some extra voltage for overclocking your CPU, RAM, and GPU if you should so desire.

Edit: $848USD after shipping, +OD = ~$1050CAD

And no, building a computer is as easy as it gets; you plug shit in and follow a few directions, it's only tricky if you forget to plug something in. (c:

newegg ships to canada? since when

[aliquidparadigm]

Oh good show, they don't. M'bad, never inquired about whether they ship there or not.

www.tigerdirect.ca has reasonable prices, too. Still lower than NCIX, which I assume is where you were getting your gear from.
