New PC Ideas.
Green:
I'm thinking of purchasing a new PC sometime soon. Does anyone have any suggestions that meet the following criteria?
In order of importance
* Maximum budget of $1,500 CAD
* Preferred built-in mic and webcam
* All-in-one if possible, not mandatory
* Windows 7 with an Intel Processor(Preferably i3 or i5)
So, if you could at least fit the budget and possibly one of those two preferred hardware preferences, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have no idea why you'd want an 'All-in-one', they have most of the downsides of a laptop with none of the benefits :3
How about a laptop? this one here is particularly good value:
Asus G73SW - $1150 CAD
It meets all your requirements above (I'm hoping that Laptop is close enough to all in one for you?) and it is a laptop thats got a pretty good reputation for being a good gaming laptop (The Asus G73 & G74 series are fairly popular for that).
Asus G53X - $1139 CAD
This is probably an even better deal :3

Thanks JC. I was looking for an actual PC, since I currently play from a laptop. But I'll do some research as to the two you've posted. Any idea if they're available in Canada?
Brent147:
I'm almost positive that you can have them shipped too you if they aren't available in Canada, but the likelihood is great that they are because they are distributed by what is probably a massive multibillion dollar company.
JC:
Newegg.ca is a Canadian website, so I'd hope they can ship them to you :P
If you want to play on something more 'desktop-like' then you can always connect a monitor/keyboard/mouse up to a laptop (Though I suspect from the 'all in one request that space might be limited?). You could easily get a good screen (22-24" w/LED backlight)/mouse/keyboard and either of the above laptops and stay well within budget.
If there's a particular screen size you'd want post it up & I'll see what I can find.
With mice & keyboards it's more down to personal preference, some people like gaming mice that are covered in buttons and shit whereas I prefer a mouse with as little junk on it as possible :3
Just to be clear, by 'all in one' you meant something like This?
