Yep, I know some parts are different than your list, but you DON'T have the money. You're asking for too much for a $1400 CAD build that's top of the line + overclocking + monitor + OS. I'd say $1800 CAD would do it. You don't really need to overclock anything. The GPU is top dog. The cpu is quad. The parts I picked out leave you room for overclocking. The only missing item is a mid-tower ATX case.

You missed out the $8 flat rate shipping from NCIX last nov/dec. Basically, you could've shipped this whole pc for $8. Their sales are just rebate craps week after week. The only incentive to shop at ncix would be the 5% tax & cheap flat rate shipping. They do price matching, however.

Thanks for the reply, I've decided to increase my budget, so here's what I've came up with:

I'm going to order tonight, any inputs before I do?

You will want a SATA DVD, not an IDE. I recommend just switching to SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model SH-S223B - OEM

Also, don't forget about the combo deal for the CPU / MOBO... $25 savings... http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?Item...

With the $25 savings... pick up better RAM... G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH - Retail, which will running better than the CAS9 RAM you picked. ... I saw you already had better RAM selected (looked at your original listing)

For RAM go with either
G SKill Ripjaw DDR3 1600 7-8-7-24

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1682...
cm_re=g_skill_ripjaw-_-20-231-303-_-Product

or G Skill Ripjaw DDR3 1333 7-7-7-21
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1682...

both are a few bucks more but have tighter timings. For AMD architecture tighter timings makes a much bigger difference in performance than speed.

The spinpoint F3 (aka the good one) is not sold in newegg.ca Though you may find it somewhere else.

Go with Seagate 7200.2 500GB (must be .12 and 500gb), which is about the same in performance.

Thanks again, yeah I found a local store that sells the Spinpoint F3 for $65 and thanks for the DVD, didn't notice it was IDE.

For an AMD build, is G Skill Ripjaw DDR3 1333 7-7-7-21 or G SKill Ripjaw DDR3 1600 7-8-7-24 better or are they about the same?

They will pretty much be the same, since DDR3 1333 has a little tighter timings.

Hello guys, its me again, I've built my computer and I've been running a few tests, I am a bit worried about the performance. In 3Dmark06 I'm getting 17 562 (SM 2.0 = 6902 SM 3.0 = 8700 CPU = 4492). It also seems like my CPU is running hot even with the Hyper 212, 27C Idle and with Prime 95 about 49C on load. Is my score normal, anything I should do? I have the the latest gpu drivers (Catalyst 9.12).

You call that hot. lol. My i5 750 idles at 30C & loads at 59C. lol. That's cuz I use stock cooling.

Offhand, it sounds like your cooler is performing about where it should at idle and load.

Not sure about your performance numbers, someone else will have to comment on those.

Thanks a bunch, yeah finally temp is not as bad as I thought, around 35-36 when playing WoW.
