Hi everyone, I am planning to ask Canada Computers in my area to build a budget gaming PC for about $1200 CAD that can at least handle 1080p 60 fps gaming on future releases around end of 2014. Let's say I build it now, what would be the best components to go into this build? For choosing parts, please use Canada Computers or NCIX as those are the only vendors that I can go to a store for to build the gaming PC. Any help would be great. Thank you very much.
