about your choices;

the one I believe is a decent deal in your list of choices would be #7, not perfect but upgradable in the future easily to an I5 or I7 if you can define what motherboard it is prior to buying it to ensure it can easily be upgraded.

The 8th is the best value hands down, depends on what you can afford tho.

The Paladin :

Think of the 8th as the same as the 7th, except going to a sandy bridge i7, a better power supply, 8GB more RAM and 120GB more SSD space for $50.

The Paladin :

I'm searching a computer for a friend he said that he doesn't want to upgrade it (he will sell it later on). Also I'm not sure how a 400w power supply can support a gtx 770

Tanoxil · Feb 3, 2017

Chugalug_ :

The budget is around 700$ CAD including a monitor

It's a 550w PSU, it's plenty.

Most of these seem a bit overpriced, don't you think?
The first might be the best value-to-performance option, depending on the i7, since it's most likely a non-k at 3.5Ghz, makes me think it's a 4690.
That aside, that PC likely has ZERO upgrade path and the GPU is bad for today's standards.
I, also vote for #8.

Chugalug_ · Feb 3, 2017

Yeah, all but the last are poor value.

lakimens :

I don't know maybe it's overpriced. (Note that this is Canadian currency so 500$ CAD is equivalent to 380$ USD)

Tanoxil · Feb 4, 2017

Chugalug_ :

No the 7th has a 400w PSU. Also, what do you think of the third choice is the i5-2400 with a gtx 960 has almost the same performance as an i3 6100 with a gtx 770?

Chugalug_ · Feb 4, 2017

@Tanoxil, talking about the 8th, it has a 550w with it.

As mentioned before, the 8th is the only one I'd consider, given it's CAD it's a fantastic deal.
The rest pale in comparison.
