Here's what I have so far on ncix

1200$CAN

Cart Order

Mobo
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=35603

CPU
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=38881

Video Card
http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] omoid=1087

PSU
http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] omoid=1087

Ram (discounted when purchased /w mobo)
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=34654

HDD
http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] omoid=1087

Case
http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] omoid=1087


Specifically, I'm looking for opinions regarding the mobo, the PSU and the ram. Is the mobo any good? Everything will connect fine, right? If I plan to switch to a DX11 card later, will I have any troubles? Is the PSU wattage sufficient if I plan to upgrade the video card later for a DX11 one? And the ram, is it ok that it is 3 sticks of 2gb, will the mobo have any problems with that?

IMO, this build seems like a very fair price, but if you have any suggestions I'm open to them of course :)

Nice build :) Change your RAM out to this one down below if it's in your budget.

http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] Technology $112.99 CAD
OCZ Gold OCZ3G1600LV6GK 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 CL 8-8-8-24 Triple Channel Memory Kit

Also you might want to add a heat sink and thermal compound to that build.

Hmm backordered =/ Alot of the the parts in my cart are on special too, so I doubt I can wait for it to be on stock again. Are the slightly lower timings even noticeable though? Or is it more of a placebo effect?

If you don't plan on doing any major over clocking I wouldn't worry about it. Now that I think about it, toms did a benchmark test on DDR3 and timings didn't make all that much of a difference.
