    Hello everyone,

    I am looking for added advice when it comes to cheaper desktop systems. One of my friends wants a desktop computer and has refused to let me just build one for her so I am stuck with searching for whole systems. The general price range is from 700-800 while 900 would be pushing it.

    What I am looking to maximize:
    Long term system - A case that is large enough to do some expansion but isn't a massive doom case like most of us have.
    CPU/GPU power over large HDs/and over 8gb of ram
    Canadian Shipping preferred if online

    I been looking at the low end alienware system since it has been updated for this years graphics releases(not sure if the CPU was changed, but as we know Alienware isn't going to be upgraded very well). This isn't the way I would normally shop for computers so any advices would be appreciated.
