I've never built a PC in my life, but I have done a LOT of research on the subject, and I have put together a parts list for a $900 to $1200 CAD Gaming Computer.
The problem is that when I checked the total of my parts, it was $900 american, so it was about $1600 CAD. Any advice on lowering the cost or help would be extremely useful.
My parts will be listed down below, along with a link to a website i can buy it from.
thank you!
