$800 Budget Gaming System Needed
Last response: in Systems
Approximate Purchase Date: From now - next 2 weeks
Budget Range: 800-850 After Rebates including Monitor
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing the net, Multi-tasking
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: NCIX, Canadacomputers, any Canadian retailer
Country of Origin: Canada
Parts Preferences: I5-2500k (if possible), 22-24inch monitor
Overclocking: Yes, but not a priority
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (not neccessary, but nice to have)
Monitor Resolution: Depends on monitor selected
Additional Comments: I want the best bang for the buck, so if I5-2500k is pushing it, feel free to replace it with a cheaper alternative. So basically I want the best gaming system you can build for under $850 (including monitor).
Thanks guys!

Hmm... already $735 without the monitor.
Should I downgrade to a i3, and perhaps downgrade mobo as well to save cost and get a better GPU?

That's a great build. Keep the 2500k. It will last a good 2 to 3 years before needing an upgrade. You GPU is fine (you also have the choice to get a second in the future and you PSU will still have more than enough power to supply your PC).
