[Build Help] Not sure if I should pull the trigger tomorrow... Details inside.

Basically, I just want a simple computer that can play Dota 2. I'm probably not going to play much else - but I would like a LITTLE ability to at least try some games if I wanted to. Eventually, once I graduate after August (and hopefully get a job) I'll be planning a more serious machine. Right now though, my old core 2 with a 7600 isn't cutting it.

Some other info:

  • I don't really want to order online since the shipping fees suck.
  • Canada Computers is pretty much the only place I can buy from (that I know of anyway)
  • I'll be using a monitor with 1440x900 resolution
  • I need at least one PCI slot for a sound card I want to use.
  • Obviously, I would like the item to be in stock.
