Alright so I'm building this computer for my friend. He doesn't want to overclock anything, but he wants a new sandy bridge cpu and a really good graphics card. He wants it only slightly above $1000 after SA&H and taxes, so this is what I came up with.
Please make any reccomendations on how I could save money on parts. Also please keep in mind that all prices are Canadian, so please suggest products available on newegg.ca.
Thanks!
