Hello all,

I am building a gaming pc, just the computer, this does NOT include the monitor, keyboard, mouse. So i know i won't be getting amazing performance but good enough for most games. I will be playing some rather graphically intense games on a 1080p Monitor. These games would include Crysis 3, Battlefield 4, and some not so intense games like CS:GO, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Dead Space, G Mod, Max Payne 3 ect. I don't exactly need ultra graphics settings, but high would be nice. I also want to do some editing and also get into coding. I want to use the AMD FX 6300 processor in the build. Im going to be buying all my parts from ncix.ca in Canada so its a bit more expensive.

Include:
-Processor
-Case
-Motherboard
-RAM
-GPU
-PSU
-HDD
-OS - Windows 8.1

Optional: (if the budget allows it)
-Case fans
-CPU fans

Thanks
