Hey guys, I'm a bit over my head here. I've done some research, and I have a very rough idea of what I want in a gaming PC. I've been playing on a pre build Gateway from 4 years ago and I'm really excited to build something that will perform. My budget isn't HUGE, I live in Toronto and basically anything is going to impress me after what I've been playing with. I live not too far from an NCIX, so I've been looking mainly there.


Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible

Budget Range: $1200 CAD

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming.

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ncix

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Probably not

Your Monitor Resolution: 1600x900

I mostly play MMO's and am currently "playing" Wildstar.

Here's roughly what I have so far, If you think something is needed or I'm just way off, let me know why in the interest of learning.

I'm not sure if I need an SSD, or if there is a GPU that will out perform for a little more money.

Anything you guys could help me with would be a great service.

Thanks
