Homebuilt 1500 dollar MAXIMUM Gaming PC

Forum Systems : New Build Homebuilt 1500 dollar MAXIMUM Gaming PC

Word :    Username :           
 

I'm build a PC almost exclusively for gaming, with internet use/surfing being the only other major use. The budget max I have is about 1500 dollars (and while I've used Newegg links, I live in Canada so tigerdirect will probably be my preferred parts site).

Here's the config, are there any major problems sticking out? Performance issues etc.?

Hello MansOnWires;

Tigerdirect.ca or NCIX.com or FutureShop.ca are also good choices

ps; on NewEgg.ca you can just search on the Item# N82E16814130620 to get the linkys on that site. The GPU is $CAD 339.99 it says.

I think I'd like that CM PSU a lot better in a $20 off combo deal with a case:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.710473

Otherwise it's not the best value or best performing 850W PSU.
XFX PRO850W XXX Edition Semi-Modular 80+ Silver 850W slighty more expensive when rebate, taxes & shipping charges figured.

What size / resolution monitor will be using? Dual or triple monitor setup in your future?

It won't handle high end games that's for sure. And for $800 you would be better off just...
