This is about 800 CAD. If its possible, can you reduce it down to 700 or 600 if possible while keeping the same case?

If you don't mind to get the AMD GPU, then get the R7 260X that should be same as gtx750ti. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-750-ti-... Also add $3 more you can get the 1TB HDD, why not.

Is there any possibilities for even lower? If not, then thanks. I don't mind nvidia or AMD or Intel. Just performance not too bad.

I wouldn't go any lower than this, especially if you're planning on any multiplayer games:

A-Data is good. Not the best, but reliable.

The Corsair CX430 just doesn't quite sit well with me due to its capacitors. It's an okay PSU but I would recommend this for $10 more if you can afford it.

The build that HiTechObsessed posted is about as far as you can stretch it if you're going to play fast paced games.

Definitely stretch to the XFX, I wasn't even looking at the PSU lol the 430 is ok for normal stuff, but a 550w XFX would be much better. Thanks for spotting that.

The 750k with a 260x will get you medium/high at 1080p, though in big multiplayer games like BF4 with a lot of players online, the 750k will see some FPS drops more often.

Thanks. I'll go with the xfx then. I keep seeing people saying the CX is bad

@HiTechObsessed I was a little curious as to why you stuck with it but I see now :p 

@swegname No problem! I hope you enjoy it! Custom builds are a lot of fun.

For the non power-hungry GPU, the CX 430 will do the good job, I put one cx430 in my HTPC (Q6600, 8GB, HD6670) for while now. But the xfx will be the better one, also you have room for upgrating the GPU later too.
