PC Build for 900 Dollars Canadian after taxes

TevinD1995 · Dec 25, 2013

I'm new to the whole idea of building your own pc but my cousin and uncle know alot on the matter but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask here as well I do play consoles still so i most likely will not be playing things like BF4 on my pc but I might one day so... I want a good computer to play on decent/high settings and run good frames for Minecraft and story based games(Bioshock, Skyrim, etc.). I also prefer an intel i5 quad core(if anything is better feel free to say it).
INCLUDE: The Monitor, Keyboard and Optical Drive
DO NOT INCLUDE: Operating System(Already Owned)
And lastly I don't mind going over my budget by 100-150 dollars after taxes thanks from now. Live in Ontario in the event you needed to know.

if you have a vailid copy of windows then you can drop 123.00 from the build cost.

smorizio :

exactly what I was looking for thank you for the quick response

I don't know really what you mean by "after taxes",what is the max. budget before taxes?

That build imo has some strange choices like the psu,you don't need 750watts for a build that isn't going to be overclocked or will have sli in the future.Do you want to overclock or sli?

Vic 40 :

I dont plan on overclocking as i am new to this whole thing what are your suggestions for the build? and my budget before taxes would be 950-1000 canadian dollars alright?

TevinD1995 :

For a build that would cost less and with the same performance the next,

Matched colors here and the motherboard has a better soundchip.
The case is,imo,kind of a rip off from the cooler master 912+,but looks nice,performs well and the ledds can be turned off.
The xfx psu will have enough power for this and even a stronger gpu if necessary.
This monitor has a resolution of 1680 x 1050,while my choice is a 1920x1080 monitor.The choice between them is also about what you would prefer.
In my opinion both are kind of small and i would prefer a 23" mointor like the next,

but again that's my opinion.
