Hi,

I want to buy a new gaming PC to run games like BF4, COD:Ghost, Rome II: Total War, etc. I'm still raising the money but I plan to have a 1500 to 1600$ budget. Ah, and I live in Canada (worth saying because parts are more expensive there). Here's what I came with on Newegg Canada. I want your feedbacks !

The GPU was not downgraded. He got a better GPU in the HD 7970 for less money! That is not a downgrade that is a upgrade for less with out a doubt.

As for the cooler I would either get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or if you want water cooling get a XSPC Raystorm 750 CPU Water Cooling Kit you can check them out at www.frozencpu.com. I have had a sealed water cooler once in the H100i. And after 2 months the led lighting and pump went out I would never trust them again. My i5 3570K rig is now rocking on a XSPC Raystorm 750 EX360 Extreme Universal CPU Water Cooling Kit...
