Hello, I am trying to order in a Gaming PC from cyberpower. Just a few quick questions. First off, is this the best website for price? (I live in Canada) And second I want to run BF3 on my LCD at 1080p on the max settings (Or make it look very good at least) Price range is about 1500 USD. Now just wondering what graphics card I should do? I'd prefer nvidia cause I might do some 3d stuff down the road. Any help would be great thanks!

Here is the build I made. Put in a 570GTX, I could SLI the two 560's? Im ok with overclocking too btw.

Hey man that looks like a good build. i made a couple changes for you though.

Also do you have windows ultimate to save you 209 bucks, if not this is gonna hit ya right at 1520.

i got rid of the 2600k, you dont need it. The 2500k is just as good and 100 bucks cheaper. Also if you know how to build a pc id suggest that and you could get this for around 1100. good luck

Ok so go down to the 2500k, and as for windows, I have a copy already. The link you put is just the holiday deal, what were the changes? Oh and I've never built a PC before, I am however interested in trying. Im pretty good with technology so I dont think it'd be too much of a problem. Its just all the ordering of parts from different places. Any websites where I could order the whole thing?

I noticed that the pre-built system in the newegg link is out of stock. If you are interested is trying to build a similar system on your own I have put together a build at just under $1300 CA, that seems to fit the specs you are looking for (and with a much better case). (just use the Newegg item numbers in the search box to go directly to the parts.
