I was hopping I could get a decent system with my budget. What I am basically looking is mainly for gamming and web surfing of coz. Just needs to handle medium setting on games. Any good suggestions from fellow RS?

i would suggest using www.pricebat.ca , www.shopbot.ca and www.pricecanada.com to check the prices.

You can usually save at least another 10% off the total build if you buy separately.

IRC..the phenom II is better suited for gaming....benchmark usually shows dual core Phenom II will out perform quad core athlon 2 of similar clock speed

And if you ain't overlocking, don't waste your money on after market heatsink..spend the money on better GPU or CPU.
