Here is my build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/1qQmL

Keep in mind, this is a Canadian build with tax included. I also selected specific stores that are accessible to me, so I can pick it up in-store. I am re-using my ram and optical drive for this build.

What are you opinions on the build? I know, it doesn't look like a lot of performance for $512, but I have included tax, and have researched places that have stock for me to pick-up.

I'm not 100% sure on the RAM working with the motherboard (I say that because I'm not an expert) but as long as everything is compatible i consider that good value. If there is any way to squeeze a 7870 in your budget that would be the only recommendation I have. Could you possibly recycle your current machine's hard drive for use in the new one?

Cheapest 7870 is about $230 with tax and at the location I want, so I would go with a 7790.
I am downgrading the hard-drive to 500GB, since I want a clean drive. I will add my old 1TB drive in to see if it works without being formatted.

Ram should work 100% since it's DDR3. 1600MHz is supported, and the size is compatible too.
