Hey guys. i had my mindset on this new build, but just wanted to get your guy's feed back.

Don't ever buy from Canada computers. they're prices are so overpriced and their costumer support is absolute trash.

The SSD requirement is killing your overall performance.

Nice build until you change it to CAD and you have no operating system.
