Hey guys! I was curious about your opinion on something.. I am ordering a pre-built from NCIX for my son to play video games.. his main games are cs:go, call of duty mw3, gta series, and starcraft.. I am looking to spend ~$800

This is the site for the pre-built.

In your opinion, what would be the best option for me to go with , with those parts as options.. I appreciate all your help. Thanks

Looking through parts on new egg Canada, i find they are kind of pricey. For gaming i strongly recommend getting a 7850. Its the best bang for your buck. This card is around 200 dollars. so the card with the Operating system deducts 300 out of the 700 budget.

This would be what i would suggest around the 700 dollar budget.

Honestly the more I look the more i'm starting to think I should just try and assemble it myself.. I am sure I can find enough tutorials online to walk me through it..

If you could.. what would you suggest from www.newegg.ca for best bang for my buck.. I am looking to spend ~700 .

I suggest spending a little more to get the fx-6300 and extreme 3 motherboard.
This is specifically from newegg
