Hey, do i'm looking to get a new pc, since I quit console gaming. I'll be playing games such as minecraft, borderlands 2, battlefield 3/4 and more. I need everything but the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. If you make me a new/better build, please make it canadian, and as low as possible, I have a $1300 budget, but $100 would be better :p.

Here's what I thought of:

Changed your CPU because atm the 8350 is pretty expensive yet you can still get the same performance by overclocking the 8320. Cyber monday had some great deals, you missed quite a bit ;o

Changed your cooler to give you more OC potential and gave you a faster RAM for a bit cheaper to optimize with the processor.

Seagate drive over the Caviar blue imo unless you want a WD black for more money. Changed the GPU to zotac which offers more price to performance IMO.
