TSo i am buying a PC for this Xmas and i was searching alone and it was really hard to find good parts. So i went to this forum to seek help. What i want is a PC capable of High/Ultra minimum 55-60 FPS. I want an Optical Drive to install Windows 10 and i really want a case with a Windowed Side Panel if possible. The CPU must be OC capable(Intel K series) and if not must be really good. My budget is 1000 Canadian Dollars. So go on ca.pcpartpicker.com please and keep in mind that in the time of buying the parts i will get alot of rebates because of the xmas season(Black Friday and Boxing Day).

Thank you for your help

Edit: Forgot to tell that i want the hyper evo 212 or abother one that us better if possible and so sorry for my english, i usually speak french.

This is the sort of thing you say you want. 55/60FPS/Ultra modern AAA title, ODD, Overclocking, and complete computer system. You cannot afford it.

What can we change to help drop the price to something you can afford. Prices and rebates will change a lot, so I'd look at a $1100 budget and hope for the best.

^^ as stated above you will not hit ultra and 60 fps on 1080p for current games, but ive cut the price and tried to keep the best performance possible. With this build you should be playing most games on ultra at 60+ FPS but for some of the newer high spec games you will have to tune things down to very high and you should be fine.

You also had to leave out overclocking and we are still well over $1000.

I hope the OP has a monitor and keyboard/mouse. That will help a lot.

indeed I believe we done pretty well given the price of parts in Canada being higher than quite a lot of country's
