$500-$600 CDN gaming build

jeff213 · Aug 1, 2015

Hi everyone,

I've scoured the web looking for a value gaming build and came across this one: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/qP92Mp

I will mainly use the pc for WoW, blizzard games, and video streaming. I'm thinking it might be worth spending a bit more money to get a better video card than the one listed so any input from the community would be great. If you guys have a better build for under $600 CND then please post, I'm looking to build this thing in the next few days. Thanks in advance.

This build looks awesome. Do you have any recommendations for a cheap gaming mouse like the logitech G600?

If you do WOW you will love the logitech G600 mouse. Its good for the keybinding in that game and not a bad mouse ive been using mine for about 2 years

Ok I think I'm going with Outlander's build posted above. As this is my first build, I am not really sure how this thing stacks with today's higher end systems. Is it a good build for the price? Will it run WoW on ultra settings? Will it still be able to run games 5 years from now at a minimum setting? Any suggestions or feedback would be great, I'm going over to NCIX later today to pick up the parts.
