Hey, I'm looking for a $600 gaming pc build with windows 8.1. I'm in Canada, so it would be beneficial if you could use ca.pcpartpicker.com instead of the u.s one. Also I need a wireless wifi adapter as well please.

Right now I've been looking at the fx-6300 but not sure if it can fit this budget for canadian.
I would also like to have a solid motherboard as I want to be able to upgrade in the future.

Approximate Purchase Date: : This month or earlier.

Budget Range: Before rebates $500-$660

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming / Browsing Internet

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need an Operating system?: Windows 8.1

How much memory? Preferably 8gb of ram

Thank you!

Haha. Nice one. Save up some more money dude. With our technology prices I doubt you'll even get a suitable gaming PC for $600

Alright so I tried to do it myself but have no idea if this stuff is compatible and yes you can get it to around $650 GRUxTSAR I was just wondering if this build will be good enough for mild gaming and this is my first build so if it is upgradeable.

You will not be able to upgrade that in the future. That motherboard is not of good quality and outdated. You'll have to spend at least another $50 for a decent mobo that can be upgraded. That CPU is not a good one either. That GPU has a horrible price/performance ratio

That PC won't even last a year on medium settings gaming

Yeah GRUxTSAR is right, i agree just save up some more money and spend at least 1000, 1200 if your going to be gaming on it and want to upgrade in future. No point imo wasting 600 dollars on outdated and bad hardware.

And it's $600 CAD too. Our Canadian prices are like Australian prices (Well the Aussies still get the short end of the stick when it comes to that)

but according to my research the gtx 750ti can play battlefield 4 on ultra with anti aliasing for 40+ fps at 1080p.
so that is actually not bad at all and might last you a good 3 years at best provided if you overclock your graphics card in the future the unlock the true potential of that "Ti" cheers!
