APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: (One to two months - build as I go) BUDGET RANGE: (example: CAD $300 - $500)

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: (gaming, surfing the internet)

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS, PSU reuse -> See above, bought the Video Card already)

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: NCIX.com

PARTS PREFERENCES: by brand or type ( I would like to use an AMD CPU <- Actually I don't really care)

OVERCLOCKING: No

Don't need anything too fancy just for gaming at reasonable fps on newer games
