Hey Guys.

I was looking at getting a $600 Gaming PC with upgradeability. I would like the parts to be from Canada Computers.
I need the OS included in the price.

I already have the peripherals

Thanks

Thanks

I will most likely us this one! Thank for the help. Do you any other AMD builds I can choose from as I don't want to go to far over $600

You need to either go over budget or change the 6300 into 4300 and still pay a bit extra. Also, you can add an additional 4gb of ram later on when you get more money. I used to have 4gb of ram and it has never went over 80%.
 
ok! AMD... with OS... Canada Computers... max $600 gaming build:

Oh I see an APU. But why do you recommend it over a normal GPU which is more powerful in general? Like since you're spending most of your money in the CPU and ram when you could have used the money for a GPU.
