[Solved] I5/i7 BEST GAMING RIG 1000-1300 CDN

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: When you people suggest me a decent build

BUDGET RANGE: 1300 MAX after rebate

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming(want med-max settings), movies, surfing...etc

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor for now. Will upgrade later, so suggest a 1920x1080 build (using 1680x1050 right now). Mouse, keyboard, and speakers.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.ca , directcanada, ncix


COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Canada

PARTS PREFERENCES: Best performance for price.

OVERCLOCKING: Yes i5 750 to 3.6ghz at least(so suggest a heatsink)

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes, when video card can't handle newer games (suggest 750 watts PSU)

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080 when new monitor, 1680x1050 right now

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Want a good case, using antec 900 now, suggest anything better, want mid to full tower depending on how budget goes.

Also, I might get i7 920 build instead because I'll get a little better performance with CPU and when sli/crossfire cards. better future proof

If you are not going to have good suggestions, don't post at all. Just pathetic.

^ thanks for the suggestion but if u said i7 860..then theres no point because i can get i7 920 for $309, its just that x58 mobo will be a little more. so i7 860 isnt good choice
everything else looks nice when switching the cpu to i5 750.

yah i suggest you either 750 or 920, because if you get 860 mind as well get 920 and pay 50 dollars more for a mobo. and 30-50 more for ram cuz 6gb.

ok...but the transistors are the problem not the capacitors according to some reviews/articles when overclocking the cpu.

nice catch there, i didn't go to that link, i just read the "MB: Gigabyte P55-UD4P - $174.99 "

any1 else?
