Dear Fellow Users,
I have a question to ask. My question is this: What is an extremely good gaming pc(mainly minecraft and counter strike)? I would not like to spend more than 1400. I am pretty sure that this could get a fairly decent pc. What are the best parts? What should I spend more on or less on?
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Bob

This should be overkill for what you want under your budget. The things you really wanna invest the most in is probably the CPU and the GPU, especially since those are the ones that will cost you the most, anyways. You could probably downgrade this CPU to a 4770 and see little to no difference. This mobo is great with Windows 8.1 because it has a fastboot feature which basically allows the PC to start in no more than 10 seconds. You could probably find it in different MSI or other brand mobos, but I like this one because a) it's pretty inexpensive and b) it's the same that I use :D

I also checked currency convert, it said 1400 CAD was about 1277.41 USD, so you're also under budget! (I'm a US American, so I wouldn't have been able to pull the conversion off in my head :p)
