Hello, helping a friend of mine out here with his pc and was wondering if I could get a thumbs up to buy and build. Originally was going to sli gtx650 ti boost but seems more favor of the 7950. The max budget will be $1,000 not including OS, mouse, monitor, keyboard as we are recycling those already.
-Plan to purchase this week
-budget before taxes/s&h $1,000 CAD
-used for gaming! Fps to MMO's.
-Overclocking: maybe
-SLI/Crossfire: maybe
-Only real note is that my friend would love to stick with the Haf XB case...
Currently picked out...

On a final note I was able to get him to wiggle up to that $1,150 which is what I ended up but I would not be able to go beyond currently, I did recommend him a Hyper 212 as well down the road shortly. Open completely to suggestions and opinions and I apologize if I did anything incorrect, I read quiet a few $1,000 builds but many included OS, Monitors etc..etc. Thanks and I appreciate anybody reading this wall of text!

.. anyway starting again, I'd like to say thanks for the assistance, however I forgot to mention I was Canadian, and being Canadian means these great Newegg.com/Amazon.com deals don't apply to us. The end price of what you quoted to me Lunyone after re-building with what I had picked out came to over $1,100CAD before S&H and taxes. Damn deals :[
