Hey guys,

I'm building a computer for my brother but I've been out of the game way too long to be adequate at picking solid pr/pf pieces. I keep hearing about the RX 480 but I can't seem to find it at any Canadian retailers.

What I'm looking for is a solid gaming build for WoW : Legion, (specs found here: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/world-of-warcraft-legion). No SSD, he doesn't need it. Not going over 8 gigs of Ram (if that's even needed).

Oh and I need a decent WiFi card that can do 1 floor of separation (computer upstairs, router downstairs.

So yeah, if I can get the system shipped for 700$ CND, that would be ideal. I prefer to work with NCIX.com since i've worked with them on many occasions but I have heard nothing but good things about the Canadian versions of sites like Newegg.

Thanks a ton guys,
Greg

this is an otherwise identical 2 core/4 thread CPU with a 380X, which will handle ultra settings at 1920x1080, and 1440p at high with no anti-aliasing. The Rx 480 is likely a replacement for the 380X
