Hello everyone,
I have been a lurker on this forum for years now, and finally decided to get a new pc. My budget is $850CAD max. I am still a student and I am look for a stable, build that can handle some graphics design, video editing work, be good for regular use, and pull atleast 50fps on high-ultra settings on current games such as bf4, watchdogs, far cry 3 etc. at 1600x900. I want this PC to last the next 4-5 years, with little maintenance and upgrades. And no I am not trying to pull 50+ fps on ultra, on new games that are most likely going to come out in the next 4-5 years, a build that could pull 40-50 fps on medium settings at 1080p on newer games. Just a good a nice, stable build, good for school work, decent at using photoshop and a stable build for gaming at medium-high settings for the most part. Here are my specs, could you guys please provide some feedback or criticisms and let me know if you should buy this for $850CAD. Also I am getting this built for me at NCIX, is NCIX a good place for custom pc's? Thanks in advance
.
P.S. I am no graphics fantic, and do not need a build that will pull a crazy amount of FPS at ultra settings on modern games. I mean I am a guy who currently plays bf3 at 800x600, on 1600x900 monitor, at minimum settings, with 28fps average. :/

. Plus from what I have seen, the 280x performance can be achieved by a overclocked 280, or am I mistaking my self?
